HistoryThe light was erected by the United States Lighthouse Board in 1858 as the rear range light with the front light on Fig Island to guide ships into the Savannah Harbor and avoid the six British ships, which were scuttled in 1779 to impede French and American ships during the Revolutionary War.[2][5] {{stack|}}The light was moved a few feet south in 1869. The light was refurbished in 1929. It was turned off during World War II.[5] In 1958, the Trustees Garden Club developed the eastern portion of Emmet Park. At that time, the light was in poor shape due to salt water corrosion and was stabilized with cables.[2] Restoration of the Old Harbor Light was planned as part of a major project to restore Savannah's monuments. With contributions of $125,000 from the Savannah Morning News and CSX Corporation, the light was taken down in 2000 and moved to a nearby fabricator. Rust was removed by chemical treatment, repairs were made, it was repainted, and the light was cleaned. It was re-erected and relit on January 11, 2001.[2][6] DesignThe light has a cast iron shaft and resembles a giant street light.[3][4] It is {{convert|25|ft|m|1}} tall with a focal plane {{convert|77|ft|m|1}} above the river.[2] It may have been imported from England or France.[7] It is reported to have originally been a red light.[5] It is now lit with a decorative gas light.
