U.S. Lighthouses Part 2

While some lighthouses have been lost to time and money-saving schemes; some lighthouses have won over these problems with the help of man's resistance! For example; the Split Rock lighthouse in New York State; was turned off in 1928 and replaced by a skeletal tower. Today; the skeletal tower has rusted to a crisp! The light was moved from the rusted skeletal tower and placed back into the old lighthouse; which was privately relit in 2003; after 75 years of darkness! Also; the old Barnegat lighthouse was relit on New Year's Eve 2009; after it was turned off in 1944. Another thing about U.S. Lighthouses is some of them are very pretty! Take Cape Hatteras lighthouse; it's 208 meter high candy-cane style tower is visible even before you're near the tower! One of the smartest lighthouses in the U.S. is the Sullivan's Island light in Charleston; South Carolina. It's triangular shape is just modern! The saddest lighthouse in the U.S. is the New Point Comfort lighthouse in Virginia. It's storm battered paintwork and corroded lantern room makes it no.1 on my Saddest  U.S Lighthouse List! What's up with the name "Execution Rocks"? Were there prisoners executed there?
