Roanoke Marshes Light, Historic lighthouse in Manteo, United States.
The Roanoke Marshes Light stands 28 feet tall on sturdy pilings above the marsh, featuring a white and red exterior with a square house design.
The original lighthouse from 1877 guided mariners through Croatan Sound until 1955, when it was replaced by an automated light on a shorter tower.
The Maritime Museum in Manteo constructed this replica in 2004 to preserve the memory of North Carolina's coastal navigation heritage and maritime traditions.
Visitors can access the lighthouse through the Manteo Boardwalk, which includes interpretive signs explaining the local ecosystem and maritime history.
During the relocation attempt of the original structure, the lighthouse house section fell into the sound and was completely lost beneath the waters.
