This Custom Crafted Split Rock Lighthouse is manufactured by “THE
LIGHTHOUSE MAN,” leading manufacture of custom crafted lighthouses. Each one
of the garden and yard lighthouses are meticulously handcrafted from synthetic
stucco and masonry over a solid foam core making it virtually impervious to
the elements. These yard lighthouses feature real decorative windows with
beautiful curtains in each window, as well as a detailed six panel door. Every
yard lighthouse is completely hand painted to replicate the actual lighthouse
but lighthouses can be custom painted to match your personal preference or
décor. Each garden and yard lighthouse comes with a standard light or you may
wish to upgrade to a wide variety of accessories. These lighthouses would make
an excellent addition to your yard, garden, dock, or patio.
You may want to add another type of beacon rather that the standard light that comes in the lighthouse. Click here to see the BEACONS that are available.
Split Rock
Lighthouse, Two Harbors, Minnesota
Completed in 1910, Split Rock Lighthouse is located between Two
Harbors and Beaver Bay on the upper edge of a 127’ cliff. Due to the magnetic
interference with the ship’s compass, caused by the huge amount of iron in the
rocks, many ships wrecked in this area. In November of 1905, 29 ships were
lost or damaged due to storms and inaccurate compass readings. In addition to
this the water is so deep close to shore that it is difficult to sound for
depth at a safe distance from shore. Influential steel manufactures demanded a
lighthouse at Split Rock and…. they got it. Split Rock Lighthouse is no longer
active.
