Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1855 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The oldest screw-pile lighthouse in Maryland marked Seven Foot Knoll at the mouth of the Patapsco from 1855 until 1988, when it was lifted onto Pier 5 in Baltimore's Inner Harbor; Historic Ships in Baltimore runs it as a museum.
