Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

The full caption title reads: Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina’s Outer Banks,” and goes on to explain that this is/was the only lighthouse owned by the National Park Service, built in 1870, and at 208′ high, the tallest in the U.S.A.  Not certain if all of that is true now, but the caption also points out that “in the foreground are the remains of the second Cape Hatteras lighthouse.”  This unused Dexter Press card is dated 1969, aging, and has a small abrasion on the reverse.  Grade: 3
