In 1827 an attempt was made to erect a wooden pile lighthouse on Brandywine Shoal.  The structure was seriously damaged before it was completed which required repairs; however the aid only lasted for 12 months before succumbing to the sea.  The lightship continued on station at the shoal until the second attempt to erect a lighthouse.
