Hatteras Light is the tallest in the U.S. at 210 feet and undergoing a long restoration that is supposed to be completed sometime next year. A large portion of the top was removed for further repairs and a new light and lens system will be installed. Looking forward to going back when complete to climb and photograph it.
In 1999, with the sea again encroaching, the Cape Hatteras lighthouse had to be moved from its original location at the edge of the ocean to safer ground. Due to erosion of the shore, the lighthouse was just 15 feet (4.6 m) from the water's edge and was in imminent danger. The move was a total distance of 2,900 feet (880 m) to the southwest, placing the lighthouse 1,500 feet (460 m) from the current shoreline. All other support buildings at the site were also moved at the same time.
