At 208 feet, this is the tallest lighthouse
in the country. The original light was constructed in 1803 and
stood 90 feet tall. In 1854, it was increased to 150
feet. During the Civil War, it sustained heavy damage and in
1870 a replacement was built. The old light was demolished in
1871. The shifting sands and many storms threatened the lighthouse
and in 1999, it was moved inland. It now stands as far from shore
as it did when originally constructed.

I know this lighthouse is often photographed but it
is one that I have always wanted to see.
