Kenosha, Wisconsin - Harbour Lights HL298 HL298 $45.00

Item # HL298
The first "Government light" was constructed on Simmons Island 1848, but proved inadequate. Over the next twenty years, larger structures and more powerful lenses were added. The existing structure was completed in 1866, standing 52 feet tall and built of brick. A Fourth Order Fresnel Lens was installed, originally shining its fixed white beam with a single flash. It took many years to accomplish, but in 1994, sufficient funds had been raised to replace the lantern room and install a 300mm plastic optic.

Limited Edition of 5,500 pieces.
