I kind of wondered if it was ever going to happen.

I'm Al Finlayson.

I'm on the Lake Superior Marine Museum board.

I'm the treasurer and worked on the acquisition of the Duluth Harbor South Breakwater, Outer Light.

It belonged to the federal government, and they deemed it as surplus property in 2018.

We are very committed to doing the historical structures report so that we understand better the history of it and know how to renovate it back to its early 1900s shape.

The original structure was in the 1870s.

In the late 1890s they got funds to redo the whole entrance, the whole harbor way here.

And that included the building that we now see and that opened in 1901.

All the boats now have GPS and radar and stuff, but these entrances are really small, especially at night or in inclement weather.

So those lights help line you up.

We don't know the full cost yet.

The architects will tell us that when they complete their work.

We have funding in our bank today to do what we want to do this year.

We'll be applying for grants, will be hoping for donations from the public, and I think it's just got great potential to really be something that the public will be interested in.
