Description:
The Eldred Rock Lighthouse is an octagonal-shaped structure located on Eldred Rock, a small island in Lynn Canal in southwestern Alaska. The lighthouse was built between 1902 and 1905 in response to several disastrous shipwrecks close by. The lighthouse was first lit in 1906 and was decommissioned in 1973. The oldest original lighthouse in Alaska and one of the most remote in North America, the Eldred Rock Lighthouse’s most striking feature is its stunning mountainous backdrop. The Eldred Rock Lighthouse Preservation Association of Haines, Alaska, endeavors to restore, maintain, and preserve the historic Eldred Rock Lighthouse.
