For years, the Cape Lookout Lighthouse has been a landmark to mariners. It warns of the treacherous 10-mile long shoals extending off the Cape which early maps depicted as Promontorium Tremendum, or Horrible Headland. The low-lying Core Banks upon which the lighthouse stands is another hazard. Even in the best weather; a ship could be aground before the land is sighted in this area. The light from the lighthouse marks the safe, sheltered harbor of Lookout Bight.
Our custom-crafted Cape Lookout lighthouses are just like the original! They feature the same precise detail as the real Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
