Baker Shoal Range Front Light stood on the Delaware River at Port Penn, Delaware, as the front light in a paired range system that guided vessels along the river. The original front light was discontinued in 1924 and replaced by a new steel tower, after which the earlier lighthouse was removed or destroyed. The replacement remained in service as an active aid to navigation. Its companion, Baker Shoal Range Rear Light, had previously served as the Port Penn-Reedy Island Range Light before becoming the Baker Shoal Rear Range Light in 1904, after the old range was discontinued when the C&D channel moved.
