The tallest lighthouse in the United States, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, was built in 1870 to warn ships of the dangerous waters where the Gulf Stream meets the Labrador Current off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Erosion of the sandy Outer Banks threatened the brick lighthouse's foundation before it was moved several thousand feet inland in 1999 to prevent it from collapsing into the sea. The diagram and instructions provide a paper model of the historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
