Description
A dramatic shot of the sunrise through the Hunting Island Lighthouse. The historic lighthouse was originally constructed in 1859 and is the only lighthouse in the state of South Carolina that is open to the public.
A unique feature of this lighthouse is that it was constructed using cast iron plates and designed to be dismantled in case it ever needed to be relocated. As fate would have it, due to erosion of the beach in 1889, the lighthouse was moved inland 1 1/4 miles from its original site to where it presently stands.
