About Ragged Point Lighthouse
Ragged Point Light, constructed in 1910, is a hexagonal steel tower. Its focal plane reaches 13.5 meters above the water, emitting a white light. Originally a screw-pile lighthouse, its current form reflects its operational status. The light's design ensures visibility in the Potomac River approaches.
