Eldred Rock Lighthouse





Eldred Rock Lighthouse in the Lynn Channel 20 miles southwest of Haines, Alaska. I learned of this light from the local bus driver in Haines. So, I remained attentive on the deck of the Statendam after supper. Finally around 10:30 pm we started to see the light. We were passed it by 11. Following the 1898 wreck of the Clara Nevada on it's way from Skagway to Seattle it was decided a light was needed. The lighthouse was opened on June 1, 1906. The lighthouse is owned by the Forest Service and efforts are being made to restore it.
