Description
This popular picture of the Fenwick Island lighthouse in Delaware was taken in late afternoon, allowing for a sunburst behind the tower. The seventy-five foot, six-inch tall lighthouse was first lit in 1859. The lighthouse continued to operate for 119 years, until 1978, when it was decommissioned by the Coast Guard. In 1982, the lighthouse was turned over to the State of Delaware. A new light was installed, and the lighthouse is currently leased and operated by New Friends of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse.
