Cockspur Island Light, Historic lighthouse at Cockspur Island, Georgia, United States
The brick lighthouse stands 14 meters tall with a conical shape and features a ship prow shaped base on wood piles in an oyster bed.
Constructed between 1837 and 1839, the lighthouse operated until 1909 and survived direct fire during battles at Fort Pulaski during the Civil War.
The National Park Service maintains this structure as part of Fort Pulaski National Monument, preserving maritime navigation history on the Savannah River.
The lighthouse stands visible from Fort Pulaski National Monument, and visitors can follow a 0.8-mile trail to view it from the shore.
The structure functions with solar power since 2007, making it the first lighthouse in Georgia to operate on renewable energy technology.
