Fairway Island Light

Fairway Island Light was a lighthouse at the eastern entrance to Peril Strait in southeastern Alaska, standing on a small islet between Chichagof Island and Catherine Island in the Sitka City and Borough area. Built in 1904, it marked an approach through a difficult coastal passage and served as an aid to navigation in Alaska waters. The station was later deactivated sometime between 1917 and 1925, making it an early but relatively short-lived part of the region’s maritime infrastructure.
