The canal opened in May 1885, and in 1914 its axis was marked by two classed lighthouses: the Front light, an octagonal tower with a white vertical stripe on the northern edge of the Oranienbaum shoal, and the Rear light 1.1 miles away, an octagonal tower with black-and-white horizontal bands. Both were knocked out of service when roughly a thousand vessels sank in the canal during World War I, and were restored between 1918 and 1923; the Leningrad naval base defended them against German bombing and shelling in World War II. A new 73 m rear tower was built in 1996, and today about 8,000 ships a year navigate the canal by these range lights, which remain under the commercial sea port's administration.

Из книги «Маяки России» (2001)
Источник: Комарицын А. А., Корякин В. И., Романов В. Г. «Маяки России (исторические очерки)». СПб.: ГУНиО МО РФ, 2001 (доп. тираж 2005).
В первые десятилетия после основания Петербурга наиболее оживленными пунктами морской торговли были: Стрелка Васильевского острова при разветвлении Невы на два рукава — Большую и Малую Неву и левый берег Невы выше разветвления, где река образует крутое колено, поворачивая с юга на запад. Здесь были построены склады, амбары и пристани. Позже порт перенесли в юго-западную часть города, в районы Гутуевского, Вольного, Турухтанных островов. Морские суда подходили к пристаням по естественным фарватерам. Однако во второй половине XIX века, с развитием парового флота фарватеры оказались мелки для крупных глубокосидящих пароходов, и грузы приходилось перегружать в Кронштадте на мелкосидящие суда. Естественно, это приводило к большой потере времени и удорожанию стоимости товаров. Поэтому в 1874—1875 годах от внешнего рейда Кронштадта до морского порта был сооружен искусственный глубокий фарватер — Морской канал протяженностью 32 км. Открытие канала состоялось 14 мая 1885 года в присутствии императора Александра III.
Санкт-Петербургского морского канала Передний маяк
Вначале он ограждался створными знаками из деревянных треугольных щитов с белыми огнями, а в 1914 году на оси фарватера были сооружены два классных маяка: Передний и в 1,1 мили от него Задний. Передний маяк (восточный) расположен на северной оконечности Ораниенбаумской отмели и представляет собой восьмигранную башню высотой 21,8 м с белой вертикальной полосой, а Задний (западный) — восьмигранную башню высотой 42,8 м с черными и белыми горизонтальными полосами. Оба маяка работают автоматически, обозначая створ 111,8° — 291,8°. Передний маяк светит белым проблесковым огнем на 12 миль, Задний — белым постоянным огнем на 13 миль. Во время Первой мировой войны в Морском канале затонуло около тысячи различных судов, судоходство по нему прекратилось, маяки бездействовали. В 1918—1923 годах канал был полностью очищен и восстановлен, вновь зажгли свои огни и маяки.
Во время Великой Отечественной войны гитлеровцы подвергли Морской канал и маяки бомбежкам и артобстрелам. Оборону их осуществляла Ленинградская военно-морская база. После войны канал и маяки восстановили и реконструировали. В 1996 году построили
Санкт-Петербургского морского канала Задний маяк
новый задний маяк высотой 73 м. Ежегодно по Морскому каналу, руководствуясь огнями створа, проходит до 8 тысяч судов. Маяки находятся в ведении Морского торгового порта.
