This is a neat one, so its been destroyed and rebuilt a couple of times due to being destroyed by both weather and war damage. The current lighthouse was built in 1864 and is on the Lighthouse Doomsday List. This is the Sand Island Lighthouse standing at 125 focal feet tall. It is one of the most endangered lighthouses in the country, it was damaged in 2004 & 2005 by hurricanes, further delaying restoration attempts, despite having 1.4 million yards of sand dredged around her base in 2011.
Despite all that it truly is a very beautiful light, and she still stands tall near Fort Morgan, which ill also share with you guys once I do more research on it 😅
