It is an ornamented cast-iron shaft flanked by several large ship anchors and was erected in 1858. It's gas light shone from a focal plane of 77 feet as an aid to ships entering Savannah's harbor. In conjunction with the Fig Island Light, this harbor beacon served as a range light to guide incoming vessels past six Revolutionary War ships intentionally scuttled by the British in 1779 to keep French ships out of the harbor.
