The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse protects one of the most hazardous sections of the Atlantic Coast. Offshore of Cape Hatteras, the Gulf Stream collides with the Virginia Drift, a branch of the Labrador Current from Canada. This current forces southbound ships into a dangerous twelve-mile long sandbar called Diamond Shoals. Hundreds and possibly thousands of shipwrecks in this area have given it the reputation as the Graveyard of the Atlantic.

The Outer Banks Ferry System
Decades ago, one of the only ways to access some of the most secluded areas of the Outer Banks was via a ferry, and this tradition carries on today for thousands if not millions of visitors who want to travel to some of coastal North Carolina's most famous and off-the-map locales.
A small handful of islands on the Outer Banks, specifically Knotts Island, Ocracoke Island and Portsmouth Island, are veritably cut off from the rest of the world. With no roads that cross over the Currituck or Pamlico Sound, these regions can only be accessed by boat, making them dependent on the NC Ferry system for transportation on and off the islands.

Ascend Cape Hatteras Light Station, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina
Join us as we ascend 248 iron spiral stairs to the top of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. It was like climbing a 12 story building! Thank goodness for a small landing every 31 steps! Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was built in 1870. It is 198 feet from the ground to the top of the lightning rod and is the tallest lighthouse in the United States and one of the tallest brick lighthouses in the world. It is also the tallest brick structure ever moved! In 1999 it was moved inland 2,900 feet to protect it from the encroaching sea.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Tour
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Tour is a segment of Carl White's Life in the Carolinas, which aired in syndication March 21, 2015
We travel today with Carl to Hatteras Island, home of the world famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
Chris Cabral, Park Ranger, gives us a guided tour that begins with a 257 step walk up the lighthouse. There are eight landings separated by 31 steps. These provided a place to rest for the original lighthouse keepers who had to haul about seventy pounds of oil to the top of the lighthouse to keep the light on.
Cape Hatteras is nicknamed the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and with good reason. Two major ocean currents meet at the cape, dumping a lot of sand. This creates shoals, or sandbars, making the waters treacherous, and many ships have been destroyed over the years.
A few hundred years ago, though, prates, took advantage of these shoals. Knowing that ships pursuing them would not venture through the currents, the pirates navigated to safety. Blackbeard, one of the most ruthless of all pirates, was eventually defeated and killed in the area in 1717.
Constructed in 1870, the lighthouse originally used a fresnel lens, manufactured in France. The lens was supported on a large disk that spinned using a clock weight device. The lighthouse keeper had to wind the weights every morning, much as one would wind a Grandfather clock. Today the fresnel lens has been replaced by an aerobeacon. It projects light twenty miles and flashes every 7.5 seconds.
The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, part of the National Park system, is open every day from mid April to mid October.
