Notes:
The original light was destroyed when a schooner collided with the pier in December 1859. The current tower on the Racine North Breakwater was first established as the Racine North Pierhead Light in 1901. After the tower was moved to the North Breakwater (ca. 1916), it was replaced on the North Pier by a post light.
