Price Creek Light, Brick lighthouse in Southport, North Carolina, US
The Price Creek Light features a conical tower measuring 26 feet in height with walls that taper from three feet thick at ground level to two feet at the top.
Built in 1849 as part of a system of seven beacons along Cape Fear River, the lighthouse directed maritime traffic between Cape Fear and the port of Wilmington.
The lighthouse and keeper's house functioned as a Confederate signal station during the Civil War, enabling communications between Fort Fisher and Fort Caswell.
Visitors can observe the lighthouse structure from the Southport-Fort Fisher ferry, as the building stands on private property owned by Archer Daniels Midland Corporation.
The lighthouse contained eight lamps with 18-inch reflectors until 1855, when they were replaced with a sixth-order Fresnel lens producing a fixed white light.
