| Description |
Split Rock Lighthouse was equipped with a 3rd order, bi-valve type Fresnel lens that was manufactured by Barbier, Bernard and Turenne Company in Paris, France. It is a combination of glass prisms and a brass framework. Although extremely heavy, the lens floats on a bearing surface of liquid mercury. This magnificent lens is almost 100 years old and is the original lens. You are looking up into the lens through an opening in the base that was originally used to light the incandescent vapor lamp. |
