   Hatteras Light

                            We need one of these in Frankfort.  At 198 feet it's the tallest in the Country and it's beautiful.  The stone work an the base is a work of art and the taper of the tower is just stunning.  The picture with the tower in the distance, was taken from the 1999 location of the light. It was lifted up and moved 2,900 feet to the new location.  The had to move it because the dune it was sitting on was getting too close to the water.  The process of moving it is quite a story in itself. The tower is really a world class treasure.
