Carla Schoonmaker moving the cape Hatteras Lighthouse !
Thanks for sharing this! Great memories!
Truly amazing!!! A part of history!! Years from now people will wonder how it got where it is!
very cool ! I remember seeing that move ! Got a smashed dime !
View from the gallery deck of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in 1937.
In 1794, Congress authorized the original 90-foot sandstone tower, completed in 1802. By the 1850s, complaints were voiced about the inadequacy of its light and, in 1861, during the Civil War, it was damaged by Union shelling.
After the war, top priority was given to the construction of a new lighthouse. Upon completion, the lighthouse, measuring 180 feet from the foundation to the light, and 208 feet from the base of the building to the top of its roof, was the world’s tallest. It remains the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.
In 1935, shoreline erosion threatened the lighthouse and it was abandoned. In its place, a skeleton tower was built to the northwest above Buxton Woods. The Civilian Conservation Corps helped stabilize the area and, in January 1950, the 1870 tower was reactivated.
In 1999, the National Park Service moved the 4800-ton lighthouse 2900 feet west to save it from the encroaching Atlantic Ocean.
