Lighthouse · Port Penn, Delaware
Liston Range Rear Light
The tower was first lit in 1877 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows a steady white light. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A 120-foot wrought-iron skeleton tower near Biddles Corner, moved here from another range in 1906; it is still the rear light of the Liston Range.
