Port's Pierhead Light is surrounded by “sea smoke” in Port Washington Harbor
The Port Washington Breakwater Light was completed in 1935 at a cost of around $38,000. The metal Art Deco tower rests on a twenty-foot-square cement base that has large arches on each of its faces so it does not obstruct the view of mariners using the harbor. Here, the light is surrounded by dense sea smoke with pilings from an old pier in the foreground. The WE Energies power plant in Port helps create this dramatic “sea smoke” in cold winter harbor because it discharges relatively warm water into the lake, causing rapid condensation of water vapor that looks like smoke. The phenomenon also occurs naturally whenever cold air moves over a warm body of water.
Each magnet is made with a 2”x3” (approx.) giclée print with a photo image on the front side and a title and description on the back side. The print is then affixed between two pieces of acrylic so that both the front and back sides can be seen. Four quality magnets are positioned at the corners of each piece of acrylic for added magnetic strength.
