Cape Lookout Coast Guard Station
Cape Lookout Coast Guard Station, Coast Guard station in Core Banks, United States.
The Cape Lookout Coast Guard Station includes multiple frame buildings with a central watchtower positioned between Cape Lookout and the lighthouse.
Built in 1916 as a lifeboat station, this facility served maritime rescue operations in the Cape Lookout Shoals until its decommission in 1982.
The station buildings now function as research facilities for North Carolina university students conducting studies on dolphins and sea turtles.
The facility operates on renewable energy through a combination of one windmill and two solar panel arrays for its power requirements.
The station managed rescue operations across the Cape Lookout Shoals, which extend ten miles into the Atlantic Ocean as navigation hazards.
