  • lighthouse on Morris Island in South Carolina. The light stands on the southern side of the entrance to Charleston Harbor, north of the town of Folly Beach...The lighthouse is unusual in that it now stands several hundred feet offshore. When constructed in 1876 the light was approximately 1,200 feet (370 m) from the water's edge. However, the construction in 1889 of the jetties which protect the shipping lanes leading to Charleston Harbor altered ocean currents, resulting in the rapid erosion of Morris Island and the destruction of many structures and historical sites (such as Fort Wagner). By 1938 the shoreline had reached the lighthouse, forcing its automation as it was no longer safe or practical to keep it manned. In 1962 the Morris Island Light was decommissioned and replaced by the Sullivan Island Lighthouse on the north side of the harbor.The Charleston Light, located on Morris Island, at the entrance to the harbor of Charleston, SC, was one of the colonial lights turned over to the Federal Government under the terms of the act of August 7, 1789. The light was in a brick tower, built by the Colony of South Carolina in 1767.

  • Sullivan's Island Lighthouse also called the Charleston Light marks the entry to Charleston Harbor. ..Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, which is the northern entrance to Charleston harbor, was built to replace the old Charleston light on Morris Island. Construction was started in 1960, and it was first lit on June 15, 1962.The lighthouse has a steel frame, an aluminum alloy skin, and a modern triangular cross section. It is 140 ft (42.7 m) tall. The focal plane of the light is 163 ft (49.7 m) above mean sea level. The daymark is a black upper half and white lower half. It is the only U.S. lighthouse with an elevator and was the last manned lighthouse to be built...It has a DCB 24 light. It originally had 28-million candela (candlepower) that was the most powerful in the Western Hemisphere. As the light was actually too dazzling, the power was lowered to 1.2 million candela that still be seen over 26 miles. Its characteristic is two 0.2 s flashes separated by 4.8 s every 30 s. The light was automated in 1975.
