Description
The first lighthouse on St George Island was built in 1833. From that point on, the story takes many twists and turns. Several different lighthouses were built over the years and in different locations. They all succumbed to hurricanes, civil war, and shifting sand from erosion. Its light was turned off during the Civil War so as not to aid Yankee ships and it was not until August 1, 1865 that lighthouse keeper James Reilly relit the beacon. The third order Fresnel lens suffered some damage during the war, and was replaced in 1889.After Hurricane Andrew, then Hurricane Opal did their damage and weakened the structures stability it finally collapsed into the Gulf of Mexico on October 21, 2005.
The Lighthouse was rebuilt at the center of St George Island and opened for the public in December of 2008.
Will look great on any wall, and if going to the beach then this photo on tote bag is a smart and fashionable idea.
