Lincoln Rock Lighthouse

Rocks, reefs, and small islands out in the middle of what appears to be open waters of southeast Alaska were a constant worry to mariners ever since boats began to navigate through the Inland Passage. One such place is Lincoln Rock in Clarence Strait off the west coast of Etolin Island. The Alaska ferries go by Lincoln Rock on its west side, and many of us who were here before the 1970s saw the 35-foot, white, square tower on a house located on a small island.
