Teleport Target: Cleveland East Pierhead Light
Distance:
<3 miles
Difficulty: 9
Threshold: 5
Located
at Cleveland, Ohio, the East Pierhead Light is built at the western end of a long
break wall that protects Cleveland Harbor from Lake Erie. The East and West Pierhead Lights
are separated by a distance of about half a mile.
A light station had existed in the area since 1831. Previous tower on the site included a 32-foot pyramidal wooden tower on the East Pier that was built in 1869 and rebuilt in 1875. The pierhead on which the tower sits was rebuilt in 1948 after a collision.
The lighthouse is floodlit at night. The lighthouse emits green flashes at 3 second intervals.
As the pier does not connect to shore, the lighthouse is accessible only by boat. Site and tower are closed. Owner/site manager: private (Gary Zaremba).
