About Eagle Point Lighthouse
Also known as: Eagle Point (Horseshoe West Group Lower) Range Rear
Eagle Point Light was constructed in 1920 on the Delaware River near Philadelphia. This navigational aid operates with an isophase green light, meaning it shows a steady light for two seconds, followed by a two-second eclipse, on a two-second cycle. It is part of the Horseshoe West Group Lower Range system, designed to guide ships along a specific channel. The lighthouse is situated in an industrial area close to port operations, reflecting its function in supporting maritime commerce. The facility remains operational and continues to serve as an active aid to navigation.
Why it matters: This range light assists large commercial vessels navigating the Horseshoe Bend section of the Delaware River, a key shipping passage. Its specific green light characteristic helps mariners stay aligned within the channel, avoiding river shoals and facilitating safe passage to the industrial ports of Philadelphia and Paulsboro.
