CHARLESTON LIGHTHOUSE
Charleston Harbor & Atlantic Ocean
Morris Island, SC
This current old relic stands guard in the harbor, on what is left of a formidable island of some many years ago. Old photos show three story keepers quarters with four chimneys and several out buildings. As one can see the island is now completely gone as are, of course, all the dwellings. Built in 1876, this tower is 155 feet above sea level and was originally painted like the Bodie Island Light in North Carolina.... that is with black and white bands.
Unbelievably, this light withstood hurricanes and even an earthquake. But erosion was it’s worst enemy and finally in the early sixties it was put to rest. The new light was built as a replacement in 1962 north of this site on Sullivans Island. Visitors can view both lights from south of Charleston harbor.

Your lighthouse images are some of my top favorites Skip. This has also been a learning experience for me as I never knew so many varieties existed. Love this one. F/L/TW.

Your placement of the lighthouse between these two barren tree trunks is magic. I love sand, water and driftwood. Calls me there. F/L/TW.
