The Principal Lightkeeper's Quarters and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse move toward their new homes, a safer distance from the ocean.

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest brick structure ever moved.  When it was built in 1870, it stood 1,500 feet from the shore.  By 1999, the lighthouse was within 100 feet of the ocean.  To protect it from the encroaching sea, it was moved inland a total of 2,900 feet over a 23-day period.
