From lighthouses

Baltimore, Maryland

Built: 1855

This light is built entirely of iron and in a circular design, which makes it unique among the Chesapeake Bay's screwpile lighthouses. It was moved to its present location on Pier 5 of Baltimore's Inner Harbor in 1988 from its original location on the Patapsco River. It is the oldest surviving screwpile lighthouse.
