Description of Old Cape Henry Lighthouse
When the Jamestown settlers sailed into Chesapeake Bay, they named the 2 capes forming the entrance after the 2 royal princes of England, Henry and Charles. The old Cape Henry Light is in Viginia Beach, and the old Cape Charles Light is on the Eastern Shore. I have visited the Cape Henry Light which is one of the oldest on the Atlantic Coast. This picture and the one following of the Cape Charles Light are composites based on numerous photos of the 2 lighthouses. TO
