It’s the Toledo Harbor Range Lights Crib and not a lighthouse. Entirely gone today, it was demolished 50+ years ago. JIM B made this post in 2011 for the Toledo Crib…”The crib range was located near where bouys 33 and 34 are now. From my 1901 Scotts Pilot the Manhattan ranges were only 6th order lights, so they may not have been visable for the entire channel length. The rear light was also the front light for the old channel which headed northerly towards Turtle Island from that point.” The lighthouse is on Turtle Island and provided the rear range light for the old Toledo shipping channel.
