A lighthouse in Sussex County, Delaware, on the Delaware/Maryland state line.
The official opening of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse, when the light was first lit as an aid to navigation, was on August 1, 1859. Nearly 120 years later, in February, 1979, (then) Gov. Pete Dupont stated, “The Fenwick Island Lighthouse has long been an important landmark along the Delaware coast. Its historical significance remains, even if its utility as a navigational aid is past. It should be maintained as an important link to Delaware’s maritime history.“
Here is how it appears today.
