Lighthouse · Havre de Grace, Maryland
Fishing Battery Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1853 and no longer serves as a light for ships. The last lighthouse built by John Donahoo, a keeper's house with a roof lantern, stands abandoned on a small island in the Susquehanna Flats south of Havre de Grace, inside a national wildlife refuge.
