Description
Ocracoke Light is the oldest operating light station in North Carolina and the second oldest lighthouse still standing in the state. It was built in Hyde County, on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina in 1823 by Massachusetts builder Noah Porter. The lighthouse stands 75 feet (23 m) tall. Its diameter narrows from 25 feet (7.6 m) at the base to 12 feet (3.7 m) at its peak. Our family visits Ocracoke as often as we can and we always spend time at the lighthouse. This night capture is one of my personal favorites.
