Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States. Originally built in 1870 it is 208 feet tall and weighs nearly 2800 tons. When it was first constructed it was 1600 feet from the shore, but beach erosion and such had by 1987 brought waves to within 120 feet of the base.
