Description
A sailboat passes by the Port Washington Breakwater Lighthouse as it leaves the marina to sail up the coast Lake Michigan.
Plans for a light and fog signal to mark the outer end of the northern breakwater were prepared in 1934. Construction of the tower began in 1934 and was completed in 1935 at a cost of around $38,000. The metal, Art Deco tower rests on a twenty-foot-square, cement base that has large arches on each of its faces so it does not obstruct the view of mariners using the harbor. The tower is similar to those at Indiana Harbor and Huron Harbor.

It can be… depending upon the seagulls, the wind and the waves! Thank you, Mahmoud.
