I should add that, while I'm not 100% certain, I think it's not in use anymore. When I was last there it was vacant and I was able to walk all the stairs up to the top and nobody was there. It could be the time of year, though, since it was late winter. The shipping harbors may have closed for the season at that time.

I looked that up too after you asked about that yesterday. I see that they still shine the light once a year in memory of a big ship that sunk (I think the Edmund Fitzgerald.) I watched a documentary on that on TV a few years ago.
