The two lights were replaced and rebuilt several times as fire and ice took their toll. In the middle of the 20th century, the wood towers were replaced by steel skeleton towers. The City of Burlington arranged for Federal funding for replicas of the original towers which were activated on September 12, 2003.[2] Gallery| lines = 3 |File:Burlington Breakwater South VT.JPG|The USCG source says this was the south light. |File:Burlington Breakwater North VT.JPG|The USCG source says this was the north light. }} References1. ^1 {{cite uscgll|1|2009|330}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite rowlett|vt|date=2009-12-26}} 3. ^NOAA chart #14782 Lake Champlain: Cumberland Head to Four Brothers Islands, 1/40,000 2006 4. ^{{NRISref|2009a}} 6 : Lighthouses completed in 1857|Towers completed in 1857|Lighthouses in Vermont|Buildings and structures in Burlington, Vermont|1857 establishments in Vermont|Transportation buildings and structures in Chittenden County, Vermont |
