Light House Glass
Light House Glass
Type of glass / lens
The glass is part of a Fresnel lens — a multi-prism, stepped glass optic used historically in lighthouses to concentrate and project light efficiently.
I looked up information for this light glass in the photo below.
It has a weight listed as ~ 3,485 pounds
White Fish Point Museum
This museum had a lot of information and a very nice display of the interior of the light house from back in the day.
The Light Station was operated exclusively by the U.S. Lighthouse Service from 1849 until 1923, when the U.S. Coast Guard established a Lifeboat Rescue Station here.
The Lighthouse Service merged with the Coast Guard in 1939; the Coast Guard closed the Lifeboat Station in 1951, and took all personnel from the site in 1970.

This is so cool. Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome Chris.
That’s amazing about the light and how big it was. The lighthouse quarters look very cozy. A high school friend of mine and her husband spent a week in a lighthouse in Ireland. Her husband has visited almost every lighthouse in the U.S. and so they thought it would be fun to stay in an actual lighthouse – they loved the experience!
Great pics and an almost 2 ton lamp. Wow. 🤣😎🙃
I know, amazing how large those lamps are. 🙂
Thanks Sandra. Most informative and interesting. The people of that time were quite the craftsmen, inventive, and very hard working. I imagine it was rewarding work and not a bad life at all.
Yes, I agree RJ. 🙂
