Moving America's Lighthouse
Hard Cover

The media called it the "move of the millenium"...an engineering feat never before equaled. Many said the 200 foot high Cape Hatteras lighthouse would collapse before it reached its final destination more than one-half mile inland. Some said the historic lighthouse should be preserved in its original position and not be moved at all. But something had to save the lighthouse from the encroaching Atlantic. In the end, the U.S. Park Service, engineers, and well-seasoned movers calculated the risk and without fault sucessfully moved America's lighthouse.

This book is the story - a story of an American icon headed for disaster and how engineers, dedicated workers and concerned citizens saved the Cape Hatteras lighthouse from harm's way.
