Lighthouses of the United States: Maryland Eastern Shore

The United States of America is a federal union of 50 states and a capital district. The east coast state of Maryland straddles the northern half of the Chesapeake Bay, the great estuary formed by the lower course of the Susquehanna River. The two sides of the Chesapeake are known in Maryland as the Eastern Shore and the Western Shore. Baltimore, on the Western Shore, is the state's largest city and a major port. Another broad estuary, the Potomac River, forms part of the southern border of Maryland and leads to the national capital of Washington.

Maryland's Eastern Shore also has a short section of coastline facing the Atlantic between Delaware and Virginia. There are no lighthouses on this section although the Fenwick Island Light is in Delaware only a few feet from the Maryland border.

In the early nineteenth century John Donahoo (1786-1858) built a dozen stone or brick lighthouses on the upper Chesapeake. Seven survive and two are still active. Maryland is also famous for its cottage-style screwpile lighthouses, although only four of these picturesque buildings remain. In 1900 there were 45 cottage screwpile lighthouses on the Chesapeake. In a few cases modern lights are mounted on the original screwpile platform and these stations are included below.

Navigational aids in the United States are operated by the U.S. Coast Guard but ownership (and sometimes operation) of historic lighthouses has been transferred to local authorities and preservation organizations in many cases. Maryland lights are the responsibility of the Coast Guard's Sector Maryland-National Capital Region based at Baltimore with an Aids to Navigation Team for the Eastern Shore at Crisfield.

ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights, Admiralty numbers are from volume J of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals, and USCG numbers are from Vol. II of the U.S. Coast Guard Light List.

Hooper Island
1902. Active; focal plane 63 ft (19 m); white flash every 6 s. 35 ft (10.5 m) round cast iron sparkplug tower, including keeper's quarters, mounted on an iron caisson. A 300 mm lens was installed in 1976 after the original 4th order Fresnel lens was stolen from the tower; the lens is now solar-powered. Lighthouse painted white, lantern and watch room black; caisson is red. Fog horn (3 s blast every 30 s) operates continuously Sept. 15 through June 1. Kenya Allmond's 2017 photo is at right, Tim Fuhrmann has a photo, Trabas has a distant view, Marinas.com has aerial photos, and Bing has a satellite view. In 2006 the lighthouse became available for transfer or sale under NHLPA. Dorchester County and the Chesapeake Chapter applied for ownership, and in early 2008 the National Park Service recommended a transfer to the Chapter. The transfer of ownership was completed in June 2009. The Chapter carried out initial clean-up work at the lighthouse in 2009 and planned more extensive restoration. However, in 2016 the Chapter notified the Coast Guard that they were willing to surrender the lighthouse if another steward could be found. In February 2017 a new notice of availability was issued. This effort produced no results and in June 2021 a third notice of availability was issued. Again there was no response and in August 2022 the lighthouse went on auction sale. In September it sold for $192,000 to Richard Cucé, a contractor from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Endangered: 2022 Instagram photo shows the lighthouse rusting and beleagured. Cucé has since purchased tow more lighthouse, the Wolf Trap Lighthouse in Virginia and the Craighill Channel Lower Range Front Lighthouse off Baltimore harbor; to manage them he started an organization, The Lighthouse Centers. Located in the Chesapeake about 4 miles (6.5 km) west of Middle Hooper Island. Accessible only by boat. There are distant views from many points near Hoopersville. Site open, tower closed except for occasional tours offered by the Chapter. Owner/site manager: Hooper Island Lighthouse . ARLHS USA-377; Admiralty J2080; USCG 2-7590.

In 2006 the lighthouse became available for transfer or sale under NHLPA. In September 2008 the lighthouse was sold for $80,000 to AFB, Inc., of Bear, Delaware. Nothing is known of the new owner. The Coast Guard abandoned the light in 2010 when it became clear the interior was too hazardous for its personnel. Located 4 miles (6.5 km) off the southwestern tip of Tilghman Island (visible from the end of MD 33). Accessible only by boat. Site and tower closed. Owner/site manager: private. ARLHS USA-751; ex-Admiralty J2112; ex-USCG 2-7690.

Queen Anne's County (Kent Island) Lighthouses
Bloody Point Bar ("The Coffee Pot")
1882. Inactive since 2017. 40 ft (12 m) round cast iron sparkplug tower, including keeper's quarters, mounted on an iron caisson; 300 mm lens. Lighthouse and caisson painted gray. Tony Pasek's 2019 photo is at right, Trabas has a photo by Capt. Theo Hinrichs, a 2008 closeup photo is available, Wikimedia has several photos, Marinas.com has aerial photos, and Bing has a satellite view. The interior of the lighthouse was gutted by fire in 1960. Gravely endangered: the lighthouse was repaired in 1988 but needs thorough restoration, and the tower has a slight lean. This lighthouse was never offered for transfer under NHLPA. Nonetheless, in September 2006 the U.S. General Services Administration placed the building for sale in an online auction and in December it was sold for $100,000 to Michael Gabriel, a Nevada lawyer. Gabriel, who also owns the Fourteen Foot Bank Light in Delaware, intended to renovate the lighthouse, but after a decade nothing has been done. In February 2017 the Coast Guard declared the tower unsafe and proposed to discontinue the light. During the summer a large piece of the cast iron plating fell from the lower part of the lighthouse, leaving a gaping hole in the structure, and Lighthouse Digest added the lighthouse to the Doomsday List. In 2018 a new light was placed on a short skeletal tower on piles (focal plane 22 ft (6.5 m); white flash every 6 s); Chesapeake Bay Magazine has a photo. Located in the Chesapeake off the south end of Kent Island. Accessible only by boat. Site and tower closed. Owner/site manager: private. ARLHS USA-063; ex-USCG 2-7750.

James Hatcher's photo is at right, Wikimedia has a good photo by Jennifer Schmidt, Jack Shih has a 2018 photo, Alex Tucker has a 2020 closeup, and Google has a satellite view and a distant street view. This tower is a reconstruction of one of a number of beacons used on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Built by a private company, the canal was completed in 1829. The beacons were not lighthouses in the usual sense; they were traffic signals controlling the entry of vessels into the four locks of the canal. Huelse has historic postcard views of similar towers at Delaware City and Chesapeake City, the two ends of the Canal. The federal government bought the canal in 1919 and between 1935 and 1938 the Army Corps of Engineers replaced it with a much wider and deeper facility having no locks. The beacons must have been removed around this time. Construction of the replica was sponsored by the Chesapeake City Lions Club. Located a short walk from the C&D Canal Museum, Canal Road and Bethel Road, in Chesapeake City. Site open, museum open Monday through Friday, tower closed.
