About Deepwater Point Range Rear Lighthouse
This skeletal tower, standing 27 meters tall, was built in 1876 and first lit in the same year. It features a yellow, triangular cylindrical skeletal structure atop a round platform supported by a heavy pile, also painted yellow. The original tower was toppled in 1956 and subsequently replaced by the current structure. The light emits a continuous green signal at night and white during the day. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This range light is critical for guiding vessels beneath the Delaware Memorial Bridge by marking a precise navigational channel on the Delaware River.
