Sodus Outer Light
Sodus Outer Light is a lighthouse at the end of the western of the two piers defining the channel from Lake Ontario into Sodus Bay, New York, first established in 1858. In 1938, the wood tower was replaced with the current cast iron structure, and the light was converted from kerosene to electricity.[2]
