The ruins of this pre-Civil War lighthouse is all that remains of a series of range lights that were built to guide ships 25 miles up the Cape Fear River to Wilmington. Its history includes the days of the blockade-runners with Confederate ships attempting to bring supplies past the Union blockade to waiting troops. Located on private property, not accessible to the public, it can be seen from the Southport-Bald Head Island ferry.
