Lucky 7 - Cape Canaveral Lighthouse, Cape Canaveral, Florida - Lucky 7 on Waymarking.com

Located on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. The first Cape Canaveral Lighthouse was completed in January 1848 to warn ships of the coral shoals off the coast. The first tower, built of brick, was just 65 feet tall. After many mariners voiced their concern that this structure was not tall enough to sufficiently warn ships of the abundance of shoals just off the cape shores, the government approved construction of the current tower.

This second lighthouse was designed to be 151 feet tall. Its beam shines approximately 22 nautical miles and continues to be a working lighthouse today. Its original location was approximately 1 mile east of this location.
