The tower was first lit in 1825 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light is charted as Fl (4+3)W 16s. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The oldest lighthouse still standing in Maryland, on an island inside Aberdeen Proving Ground that is closed because of unexploded shells; the Army relit it in 2011, and it is seen only from the water.
