Metropolitan at The 9, Autograph Collection. Tru By Hilton Cleveland Midtown. Courtyard by Marriott Cleveland University Circle. This unique wooden tower stood nearly fifty-three feet tall and consisted of a cylinder above a cylinder of greater diameter. The bottom cylinder was covered in corrugated iron and painted red, while the upper cylinder was shingled and painted buff.
On June 7, , the steamer J. Morse struck and destroyed the cylindrical tower on the west pier while being towed by two tugs. The owners of the tugs paid for a new steel, skeletal tower mounted atop a concrete base. A steel, skeletal tower also replaced the wooden tower on the east pier in The western breakwater was built between and , while the eastern breakwater was under construction from to A forty-foot-square pierhead was constructed at the eastern end of the west breakwater in , and the following year an octagonal iron tower, transferred from the west pier at Charlotte-Genesee, was placed atop the pierhead.
The fog bell formerly used on the nearby west pier was suspended from a bracket on the north side of the breakwater tower. A boathouse was built on the western side of the pierhead, and a cupboard and bunk were placed inside the tower in case the keeper became stranded at the breakwater.
Hatch had previously served at the nearby lifesaving station and was a recipient of the U. Medal of Honor for lifesaving. His lifesaving skills would soon serve him well at his new job.
Eight people were on board, including Captain Hazen and his wife Catherine, who was serving as cook. As the barge began to break apart, most of the crew tried to jump onto the breakwater. Three men, aided by Captain Hatch, were able to scramble one hundred feet along the breakwater and reach the safe confines of the lighthouse. Captain Hatch then leaped into a small wooden rowboat to attempt the rescue of those still stranded on the sinking barge, however, by the time he reached the battered vessel, only Catherine Hazen remained unclaimed by the water.
Just as he approached the barge, waves swept around Mrs. Hatch quickly leaned out, grabbed her, and dragged her into his boat before she could sink out of sight. As he started back to the lighthouse, a huge wave swamped his boat, tossing its two occupants into the lake. Wisely, Hatch had secured one end of a line to the cribwork near the lighthouse before setting off in his boat.
With one arm around Mrs. Hazen, Hatch pulled himself along the line back to the breakwater. West Breakwater Lighthouse and fog signal after heightening of tower in Photograph courtesy Michel Forand Three other crewmen were rescued by tugs, but Orla W. Smith drowned before he could be reached.
