List of lighthouses in Delaware

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Map all coordinates using OpenStreetMap

Download coordinates as:

This is a list of all lighthouses in the U.S. state of Delaware as identified by the United States Coast Guard. The first lighthouse in the state was erected in 1769[1] and the last in 1925 (ignoring automated towers erected later); the oldest active light is the Fenwick Island Light.[2]

If not otherwise noted, focal height and coordinates are taken from the United States Coast Guard Light List,[3] while location and dates of activation, automation, and deactivation are taken from the United States Coast Guard Historical information site for lighthouses.[2]
