The sea based front tower is a 16-metre tall, timber framed lighthouse tower constructed on wooden piles. Positioned just offshore between Princes and Station Piers, the tower was originally linked to the shore via a wooden footbridge no longer extant. Elevated at a height of 14 metres above sea level, the fixed light that was projected from the tower to mark the centre of the Port Melbourne Channel is no longer functional.
