Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Relocation Images

The first of two cisterns being returned to its place beside the Double Keepers Quarters at the new lightstation site. 05/27/99 |
All seven mainbeams in place below the crossbeams. Shortly the jacks contained within the mainbeams will begin to lift the lighthouse inch by inch. Oak cribbing towers will be placed below the mainbeams to hold them as the lighthouse is lifted, and removed after the trackbeams with rollers are in place and ready for the mainbeams to be lowered to them. 05/27/99 |
Not yet in place, this is one of the strongback beams that will "block" the lower plinth sections of the lighthouse to prevent spreading of the base while the lighthouse is underway. 05/27/99 |
