Abstract:

The Oak Island lighthouse is a manned tower along the Cape Fear River. The lighthouse, located at the Frying Pan Shoals, is managed by coast guardsmen who keep the lighthouse working to protect incoming ships. This particular lighthouse is one of the few left in service in Beaufort County. The other lighthouses have either fallen into disservice or are obsolete.
