Tybee Island Lighthouse and Museum, Lighthouse and museum in Tybee Island, United States
The lighthouse features a black tower with a white band in the center and rises 44 meters above the coastal landscape of Georgia.
The lighthouse dates back to 1736 when James Edward Oglethorpe directed the construction of the first wooden structure at this strategic location.
The museum exhibits display maritime artifacts, photographs, and documents that demonstrate the evolution of coastal navigation through three centuries.
Visitors can climb 178 steps to reach the observation deck, which provides visibility of the Savannah River entrance and surrounding coastal waters.
The first-order Fresnel lens installed at the top of the tower extends the light beam visibility to 16 nautical miles at sea.
