1245. (photo) Baltimore Harbor Lighthouse, south entrance to Craighill Channel, c.1923. Built in 1908, this was the tallest caisson light in the world, and it was among the last lighthouses built on the Chesapeake Bay. The lighthouse sits at the mouth of the Magothy River, marking the channel which leads northwest to the opening of the Patapsco River. In 1964, it became the world’s only nuclear-powered lighthouse for a brief time. Today, it operates on solar power. In June 2006, Baltimore Light was sold at auction to private owners. Photo is b/w, 8” x 10”, clear and close. Dated September 12, 1923 and was taken for a newspaper article on the passing of the Lighthouse Keeper there. Includes description and credit line on back. Great early detail. (VG). $48.
