Operating at nighttime, the operator mistook east Ashtabula Harbor entrance light for the J wall light. 

The J wall light had been decommissioned in July of 2022.  In the past the operator used the light to navigate around the J wall.  The operator thought that he was clear of the wall but the light he was using was the Ashtabula Harbor entrance light. The operator ended up running into the east Ashtabula Harbor break wall.
