Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Photographic Art

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

by Chris Page

 

Standing towards the southern end of the Outer Banks, North Carolina, is the stripped diaginal banded lighthouse of Cape Hatteras.

 

The orginal octaginal 1803 lighthouse was unable to effectively warn ships of the dangerous Diamond Shoals because it was too short, the unpainted sandstone blended in with the background, and the signal was not strong enough to reach mariners.

 

The new and current lighthouse was lit in 1870 and received the its famous black and white stripe daymark pattern in 1873. The Lighthouse Board assigned each lighthouse a distinctive paint pattern (daymark) and light sequence (nightmark) to allow mariners to recognize it from all others during the day and night as they sailed along the coast.
