The Hatteras lighthouse was built in 1872. It is, possibility, the most famous North Carolina landmark today. By the 1940's, the ocean was encroaching and a great concern. After numerous attempts to stop the ocean, the decision was made to move the Hatteras lighthouse further inland. This image was taken in December of 1998. In January of 1999, the Hatteras lighthouse was closed to the public and prepared to be moved. It is now further inland and safe.
