Description
This is the Cape Hatteras Light located in Buxton on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. In 1999, the Cape Hatteras lighthouse had to be moved from its original location at the edge of the ocean to safer ground 2,900 feet inland, and 1,500 feet Due to erosion of the shore, the lighthouse was just 15 feet from the ocean’s edge and was in imminent danger. It is the the tallest masonry structure ever moved.
