Lighthouses Marker

Additional Description: The existing Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse was built atop the same concrete foundation and iron caisson that supported the earlier structure. A row of flared iron plates was added to help turn back the waves; then the new, completely iron lighthouse was added. Harbor of Refuge was a manned lighthouse until 1973 when it was automated. Although it is still an active aid to navigation, the lighthouse is owned and preserved by the Delaware River & Bay Lighthouse Foundation.
