2372. CAPE HATTERAS LIGHT – AMERICA’S GREATEST SENTINEL. Looking Glass Productions, Inc. 1998. Cape Hatteras is the standard-bearer of all American sentinels, a universal monument to the courage, daring and compassion of mariners on the sea and those on shore who were dedicated to protecting them. Originally built on a lonely storm swept headland, this symbol of steadfast endurance stood perilously close to the same fate suffered by the many ships lost to the infamous Graveyard of the Atlantic. This 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 Cape Hatteras lighthouse was built on a migrating natural dune and how this location would doom the structure. Rediscover a long forgotten, storm beleaguered beacon built to guide mariners through the inner channels of Diamond Shoals, twice relocated and eventually taken by the sea. (90 min – VHS). $24.95
