New Cape Henry Lighthouse Fort Story, VA
Site Established: 1792 where the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse sits. It was built 1881 because of continual annual reports of a cracked foundation in the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse. The height is higher than the old one, at 164 ft. It is currently a working lighthouse and visitors are not allowed to go inside. Beacon visibility is 15 miles.
Left to right: 1) New Cape Henry Lighthouse from Road 2) I think the keepers House 3) Looking up 4) On the beach; the only junk we saw and it was disturbing. Looked to be 1940's-1950's remnants of something sinister 5) New Cape Henry Lighthouse from Old Cape Henry Lighthouse
