Abstract "This award-winning 90-minute documentary recounts the first attempts to construct lighthouses on the Carolina coast, how materials were delivered and how shipwrecks and sickness caused delays and hardships. Learn why the original 1803 tower was built upon a migrating natural dune and how this location would doom the structure and dictate the course of events at Cape Hatteras for more than two centuries."--Container.
