Fenwick Island Lighthouse
Fenwick Island Lighthouse in Fenwick Island has long been an important landmark along the Delaware coast, and still today it's historic significance remains. In the mid Nineteenth century, the United States Lighthouse Board prompted the construction of a lighthouse after many shipwrecks near the Fenwick Shoals. There's an 87 foot tower with unusual design because the outer brick tower is conical, and a second inner brick tower is an 8 foot diameter cylinder, and the third order housed the Fresnel lens designed to collect and focus the light rays into a horizontal beam more efficiently than a reflector system, plus there are two lightkeepers houses which are now private residences. Today, Friends of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse have returned the lighthouse to it's former glory and ensure the light is kept on.
