1867 – Plattsburg breakwater, Lake Champlain.—Owing to the damaged condition of the north end of the breakwater, the lighted beacon at the south end, only, could be erected. A steamer lens was exhibited on this beacon on the evening of August 1, 1867. The repair of the north end of the breakwater, under the supervision of the engineer department, will soon be finished. The frame of the beacon for the north end is ready for erection, and the lantern has been delivered. It is expected, therefore, that the beacon will be ready before the close of navigation on the lake.
