The tower was first lit in 1903 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A 29 ft "bottle" light from the south entrance of Buffalo Harbor, removed in 1985 and now standing at the gate of the Dunkirk Lighthouse museum.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Dunkirk City Pier, 1.4 km (0.9 mi) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. New York's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when New York arrives.
