Cape Hatteras Lighthouse


The lighthouse at Cape Hatteras is an iconic view of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The lighthouse has actually been moved about 1/4 mile from it's original location when beach erosion threatened the structure. In this video you can see what was involved in moving the structure. here






These stones formed the original foundation of the lighthouse. Each of these stones is engraved with the name of the lighthouse keepers who manned this historic structure.

    What a cool structure. We have a black and white lighthouse in Tel Aviv too. The stones layout is interesting.

    I visited Hatteras before they moved the lighthouse. The ocean was starting to take over the site. They had plans to move it and I thought they would be impossible to carry out.

    That was quite feat of engineering, moving a lighthouse. It takes me too much time to move my body each morning. Thanks for the linky Sue.

    I visited this lighthouse ion a vacation to the Outer Banks. It was post move--fascinating that that was able to be done!

    I like how the names are engraved on the stones, that's a good way to remember them.

    What a cheery looking spot - often light houses look a little bleak!

    Oh my gosh, I love Light Houses and I had the opportunity to visit Cape Hatteras a few years ago. It is one of my favorites!! We visited the cutest little store while there, so many cute trinkets and lots of things with cats.
    Thank you for hosting!

    I like lighthouses very much. Maybe because we don't have any in Austria ;-)

    Is there anything more lonely and romantic than a lighthouse?
