Abstract:

Historic Bald Head Lighthouse, built on Bald Head Island in 1817-1818, is North Carolina's oldest surviving lighthouse. It was neither the first or the last lighthouse to send a guiding beacon to mariners entering the Cape Fear River. Smith chronicles their history.

Abstract:

The Stedman Incentive Grant assists non-profit organizations in an effort to save endangered architecturally and historically significant property. The Old Baldy Foundation, formed in 1985 to save the deteriorating 1817 Bald Head Island Lighthouse, is the 1988 recipient. The grant not only helps with the financial need of the project, but also recognizes \"their monumental effort to rescue this endangered vestige of maritime history.\"
