1883 - Marblehead Lighthouse, Lake Erie, Ottawa County, Ohio --- Here is a side view of the Marblehead Lighthouse in Ottawa County, Ohio (just outside of Lucas County). The lighthouse is on a point of land that extends out into Lake Erie. It is a brick building that tapers up to a structure that holds the light. A railed catwalk surrounds the light's housing. There are also two small windows in the lighthouse, one fairly close to its top while the other is close to the ground. The area immediately around the lighthouse is made up of large rocks. A person can be seem standing on the rocks below. Trees are on either side of the lighthouse. --- Marblehead Lighthouse is the oldest, continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes. It has been featured on a U.S. postage stamp, appeared on Ohio's license plates, and it even a part of the Ohio State Park system. --- The history of the lighthouse begins in 1819, when the fifteenth US Congress allocated $5,000 for the construction of a light tower on the Marblehead Peninsula, to help guide vessels into the Sandusky Bay and to help them safely transit the treacherous southern passage that runs between the Ohio mainland and a cluster of offshore islands. --- William Kelly and a crew of two men began construction on the tower in Sept 1821 using an outcropping of limestone on the northern tip of the peninsula, and in Nov, the rocky shoreline was home to a fifty-foot tower with wooden ladders leading to its lantern room. The base of the tower was 25-feet in diameter with walls that were 5 feet thick, which the top measured 12 feet in diameter and had 2-foot-thick walls. The tower was constructed of limestone, quarried nearby on the peninsula. --- Marblehead Lighthouse cost $7,232 to build and was the only navigational aid in the Sandusky Bay region for many years, even being called "Sandusky Bay Lighthouse" until 1870. --- https://www.thegenealogyinvestigator.com/time-travel-in-toledo-ohio --- #genealogytribe #thegenealogyinvestigator #genealogy #toledoohiohistory #toledohistory #toledoohio #historynerd #ancestry #familyhistory #lighthousehistory #sanduskylighthouse #marbleheadlighthouse #lakeeriehistory https://www.instagram.com/p/Chrj6fOuLlD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
