Did you know?
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is one of America's most recognizable and historically significant coastal sentinels. Built in 1870 to replace an earlier structure, the 210-foot tower features its famous black and white spiral stripes—a distinctive paint scheme chosen to make it visible in daylight. The lighthouse has guided countless vessels safely through the treacherous Diamond Shoals, a shifting sandbar notorious for shipwrecks, and remains an enduring symbol of maritime heritage and coastal navigation.
