Cape Hatteras is the largest lighthouse ever to be moved due to erosion problems. The University of North Carolina's mascot, the Tarheels, is a nickname for North Carolinians that supposedly came from the days when NC produced a lot of tar, and someone saw a set of footprints made by someone who had stepped in the tar.
After being slightly damaged by Confederate troops early in the Civil War, the lighthouse was returned to duty in 1862 by Union forces. Nineteen years later, in 1881, a second tower was built near the original Cape Henry Light. That cylindrical tower, made of cast iron, stands 163 feet tall. The new lighthouse was fitted with a first-order Fresnel lens that casts its light far out on the waters of the bay. The original Cape Henry Light still stands, and can be seen near its replacement tower. To learn more about vacation destinations and landmarks, see:
