Fouteen Foot Bank Lighthouse is located in the lower part of the Delaware Bay on the western side of the shipping channel.  The “Victorian” structure, was the first US Lighthouse to be built on a submarine foundation with the caisson sunk by a pneumatic process — 20 feet down into the shoal.  Its 4th order Fresnel lens was first lit on December 1, 1886.  Sometime during the 1930’s, the entire cast-iron structure, including the “hip roof” privy located at the railing on the northwest side, was repainted white with black trim and remains the same today.  Although automated and without keepers since 1972, its beacon still provides safe passage to all ships traveling the Delaware Bay.
