Description
The pierhead light became the main light at Port Washington, when the 1860 Port Washington Lighthouse was discontinued in 1903. A schooner collided with the pierhead lighthouse in 1907, destroying the gallery railing. On March 7, 1921, the City of Port Washington established a fog signal on the balcony of the lighthouse at the end of the north pier. This air siren sounded a seven-second blast every thirty seconds and was maintained by the city. The pierhead light was electrified and automated in 1924.
