History
Christiana North Jetty Lighthouse was built in 1884. It was discontinued in 1909 when the new Bellevue Range Lights went into operation, but the dwelling was used for the keeper of the Bellevue Range Lights until 1937. The lighthouse and dwelling were demolished in 1939.

gollark: A Pi is surely much better than what they have in calculators in basically everything but power use.
gollark: Because of exam regulations and whatnot, the existing companies probably have a bit of a monopoly (oligopoly?).
