In 2010 Trinity House transferred responsibility for the new light to the
Maryport Harbour Authority. The old lighthouse was restored and repainted in 2017 as part of a government-funded initiative for the refurbishment of seaside towns. Maryport Lighthouse was recognised during the 370th Council
536:(11 km; 6.9 mi). The lighthouse thereafter served as a tidal light, being lit at night only for as long as there was 8 ft (2.4 m) of water within the harbour; (during the day it exhibited a red spherical day mark to signify the same). In 1858 the Harbour Trustees commissioned
