Cleveland West Pierhead Lighthouse

Uploaded: January 26, 2011

Description

From the archives: The Cleveland West Pierhead light, built at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River where it opens into Lake Erie, was built in 1911 and remains an active aid to navigation. FYI: This is the same lighthouse that received considerable attention earlier this winter when it was shown covered with ice.
