|
Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse continues to be an active aid to navigation operated by the U.S. Coast Guard. The 48 foot tall white tower with a black lantern displays a fixed green light from its classic fourth order Fresnel Lens. This light is visible for 12 to 13 nautical miles and continues to guide mariners on the Pisataqua River and the Portsmouth Harbor. The Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation has stewardship of the light and is dedicated to its restoration and preservation.
