Description
Strong winds and heavy seas test the Kenosha pier and lighthouse at the windswept Kenosha Harbor Park on Lake Michigan.
Built in 1906, the Kenosha North Pier Lighthouse was an integral part of improvements to a wide open harbor in Kenosha. This simple cast iron tower, built to withstand Lake Michigan's wrath, replaced the land-based old Southport Lighthouse. The harbor entrance was widened and dredged to accommodate larger draft ships. The new light tower announced the harbor entrance with a Fourth Order Fresnel lens.
