About Manitowoc Breakwater Lighthouse
This lighthouse stands at the end of the north pier, marking the entrance to Manitowoc's harbor on Lake Michigan. Constructed in 1918, the structure stands 12 meters tall. Its light, visible for 16 meters above the water, emits a white signal. The lighthouse has been operational since its first illumination in 1918. It is important to distinguish this light from the former south pier navigational beacon, which was destroyed by heavy waves and flooding in January 2019.
Background

It is not to be confused with the smaller and complementary south pier navigational beacon, which was unmoored and swept out into the lake on January 7, 2019, during a period of heavy waves and lakeshore flooding from gusty winds.Light & Optic
