Hawkins Point Light

Built in 1868 in Maryland, Hawkins Point Light marked the Brewerton Channel, a deepwater route excavated in the 1850s to provide a fixed approach into Baltimore Harbor. It served as the front light in a pair of range lights, with Leading Point Light to the rear. The original screw-pile lighthouse had an unusual design, with a square foundation, side outriggers, and a rectangular house set diagonally. It originally displayed two lights, including one in a rooftop tower later removed in the early 1900s. In 1924, the house was replaced by a skeletal iron tower on the same foundation, and the light still serves the channel range.
