Thomas
Point Lighthouse: is
the last screw pile structure left on its original site in the Chesapeake
Bay. This lighthouse went into service on November 27, 1875, to replace a
light on the shore at Thomas Point at the entrance to the South River. It
was decided that the lighthouse would better serve the shipping industry
if it was located in the bay itself. This screw pile structure has a
hexagonal 1-1/2-story building perched on the spidery legs with the
lantern rises out of the center of the building. This lighthouse is one of
the most photographed lighthouses in the world. This lighthouse is still
active today.
