Deepwater Shoals Light : ウィキペディア英語版 | Deepwater Shoals Light
The Deepwater Shoals Light was a lighthouse located in the James River upstream from Newport News, Virginia. ==History== This light was erected in 1855 to mark the western edge of the channel. Ice damaged the light in the following year, and again in 1867; in the latter case the light had to be rebuilt completely, at which time the light was upgraded to a sixth-order Fresnel from the previous masthead light. During the Civil War the light was extinguished by confederate forces; relit in 1862, the Lighthouse Board reconsidered and removed the lighting apparatus to Fort Monroe for safekeeping. Decommissioning came in 1936, and the house was torn down in 1966. A steel tower light has been erected on the old iron foundation.
