Tybee Island Lighthouse, Georgia



This lighthouse is located by the Savannah River and is one of seven colonial era lighthouses still in place.  It underwent a series of reconstructions, and was first lit with a first-order Fresnel lens in 1867.  Prior to that time it used oil lamps.  In 1972 it was automated.  It's a darn good-looking lighthouse.
