Description: A red band marks the 54-foot tall spark plug lighthouse showing a white flashing light. The lighthouse was originally located at the Lighthouse Service Depot, where it was used to test new oils and lenses. An effort to return the structure to the Lighthouse Museum, which now occupies the old depot, is held up with delays in opening the museum.
