Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Buxton, North Carolina
Located on the southeast corner of Hatteras Island, not far from the town of Buxton, North Carolina. Over two thousand ships have foundered and sunk in the dangerous waters around Diamond Shoals at Cape Hatteras, known as "The Graveyard of the Atlantic." During the Civil War, the original Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was the center of conflict. The Confederate army wanted to destroy it, while the Union army wanted to protect it. Ultimately, the lighthouse was severly damaged during the course of the war, and the present lighthouse was constructed 1869-70, at a cost of $150,000. The distinctive black and white stripes were added to the lighthouse in 1873.
Lighthouse portraits make excellent gifts for all occasions. Look for your favorite lighthouse or collect the whole series. My Lighthouse note cards are available as a package of 10 cards of the featured lighthouse, or as an assortment, each package containing 1 each of 10 different renderings. I now have two assortment packages of lighthouses available. Assortment #1 includes all of the Oregon Coast lighthouses, and Assortment #2 includes Washington and East Coast lighthouses that I've completed thus far. These assortments will be changing as I add more lighthouses to the collection.
Please visit the "Products" section of this website to view the various fine wood products and trivets that feature laser-engravings of these renderings. I will also be adding these images to my CafePress storefront, where you will be able to order T-shirts, mousepads, calendars and more.
This portrait of "Cape Hatteras Lighthouse" is now available on FineArtAmerica as Quality Giclee Prints of various sizes on Archival Matte Paper or Canvas, and as fully customizable 5" x 7" Folding Greeting Cards. Other options available include Matting, Framing, and Stretching of Canvas if necessary.
