In 1872, the old Cape Henry Lighthouse was examined and large troubling cracks were found in the foundation. Six years, and many warnings later, Congress approved a new lighthouse to be built.
The New Cape Henry Lighthouse was completed and lit in 1881. The new light stands with the old light on the southernly Cape of the Chesapeake Bay, one of the most important shipping channels into the United States.
We handcraft this replica from 3/4" thick wood with the colorful details on the front and its story on the back.
You can find Casper, our black cat mascot, sitting on the beach, watching the ships and feeling the breeze!
This replica fits nicely on your desk, windowsill, mantle, nightstand, bookshelf, or anywhere you want to catch a glimpse to remember the amazing time you had on the coast!
