The light at Portage River was built to bring sailors home. Today it burns for every service member who answered the call and never returned. Grateful, always. 🇺🇸

Thank You

Here at Portage River Lighthouse / Jacobsville Lighthouse we once had a fifth-order, Henry-Lepaute Fresnel lens mounted in the lantern room along with two flash panels that revolved around the lens every four minutes. And similar to the lens in the ohito, we had Ruby glass screens were affixed to the panels to produce a light characteristic of fixed white with a red flash every two minutes.

It must have been a beautiful sight to see!
