Deep Water Shoal Lighthouse | |
![]() Confederates attacked the lighthouse during the Civil War. During the winter of 1867 the lighthouse was completely destroyed by ice flows. In 1868 a new lighthouse was built on wooden pilings with a sixth order Fresnel lens. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1936 and torn down in 1966. A steel skeletal tower on the original foundation replaced the lighthouse. Photo courtesy U.S. Coast Guard (1868 lighthouse). | |
