About the lighthouse:
Split Rock Lighthouse has a 54-foot tower but sits on a sheer cliff 124 feet above the waters of Lake Superior. It had to be constructed there because the waters of the lake in that area were too deep to take navigational soundings. In addition, iron deposits in the area made magnetic navigation inaccurate. Constructed in 1910. Overall lamp height is 24".

The Boston Harbor Light is the oldest lighthouse in continuous service in the United States, and it is still manned today by the U.S. Coast Guard. Built in 1783 on an island in Boston Harbor, it sits on the site of the nation's first lighthouse, which was destroyed by the British in the Revolutionary War. In 1852, the present lighthouse tower was increased from 75 feet to 89 feet to make passage into Boston safer. Overall lamp height is 25".
