Wanna be a lighthouse keeper? No, you can’t make the bat symbol. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ “Na na na na na na na na LIGHTHOUSE!!! Located on North Carolina’s Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States and measures 198.49 feet from the bottom of the foundation to the top of the pinnacle of the tower. This height was needed to extend the range of the light-beam from the tower’s low-lying beach site. There are 269 steps from the ground to the lens room of the lighthouse. The original Fresnel lens could be seen approximately 16 miles from the shore. The lamp was electrified in 1934. Damaged by vandals, the giant glass Fresnel lens had to be replaced by a modern aero beacon in 1950. Today, electricity provides the rotating power and a photocell turns the light on and off.⁣ ⁣ Image: Looking up at the striped Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on a clear blue day. @capehatterasnps ⁣ #nationalparkservice #capehatterasnationalseashore #capehatterasl...
