In 1825, the United States Congress appropriated the first funds for the construction
of the Delaware Breakwater, a project that would take 44 years to complete.
Secretary of War, Redfield Proctor, commissioned the Army Corps of Engineers
to build a national Harbor of Refuge for deep-draft vessels.
Unfortunately, the original project proved to be inadequate
and subsequent light towers built were destroyed in storms.
It wasn't until April 15, 1926 when construction of a new cast iron 76・tower began!
The three story, white, cast iron lighthouse, built on a foundation of cast iron
caisson and rock with its circular watch room and lantern room housed
a Fourth Order Fresnel Lens.
The light was automated in 1973 and the doors locked for the final time.
