About the Product
Cape Hatteras, beloved by lighthouse lovers aroun the
nation, is a symbol of our nation’s maritime heritage and one of the most
recognized lighthouses in the world. The arduous task of moving this beacon back
from the tumulus waters of the Outer Banks was seemingly an impossible task, yet
determination and perseverance made for a successful relocation and a historic
moment in time.
From the beginning, dedicated individuals and preservation groups
had brought the possible plight of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse to the forefront of
media attention. These proactive lighthouse lovers fought battles as the entire
nation debated the best course of action. Once the decision had been made to
relocate the sentinel, the teetering task of moving the tower was underway. A
nation held its breath as the International Chimney Corp. inched the lighthouse
back from the turning waters, just as two potentially devastating hurricanes
swept the North Carolina coast. Many speculate that the move came just in time,
as the hurricanes could have potentially undermined the foundation of Cape
Hatteras and tumbled it into the ocean.
