Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Relocation Images
|
The last bit of the original foundation left below the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. This was removed May 5; the lighthouse is now only supported by the shoring towers. 05/04/99 |
Another view, mining near completion. The cross beams for supporting and raising the lighthouse can be seen at the left extending out from the base. 05/04/99 |
The ends of the cross beams that will be used to raise and carry the lighthouse to its new location. Looking carefully, you can see that they fit between the shoring towers; once the lighthouse is raised, the shoring towers will be removed and relocated at the receiving site. 05/04/99 |
The new foundation footer, filled with concrete, curing for hardness. 05/04/99 |
