Hooper Strait Light, Maritime lighthouse at Navy Point in St. Michaels, Maryland.
The hexagonal structure stands on specialized iron pilings with screws at the bottom, anchoring it securely into the muddy seabed of Chesapeake Bay.
The current lighthouse, constructed in 1879, replaced the original 1867 structure that was destroyed when ice flows carried it away in January 1877.
The lighthouse represents maritime navigation technology from the nineteenth century, serving as a central exhibit at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
Visitors can explore multiple levels of the lighthouse, including the keeper's quarters and the lantern room that displays navigation equipment.
This structure is one of only four remaining Chesapeake Bay screw-pile lighthouses in Maryland, relocated 40 miles by barge to its current location.
