Abstract:
After being closed eighteen months in order to move 1,600 feet back from the Atlantic Ocean, the historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse reopened to the public on May 26, 2000. The lighthouse was built in 1870. The American Society of Civil Engineers recognized the moving of the 4,800-ton structure as the outstanding civil engineering feat of 1999.
