The Cape Henry Lighthouses are a pair of lighthouses at Cape Henry, the landform marking the southern entrance to Chesapeake Bay in the U.S. state of Virginia. The location has long been important for the large amount of ocean-going shipping traffic for the harbors, its rivers, and shipping headed to ports on the bay. The original lighthouse was the first authorized by the U.S. government, dating from 1792. It was also the first federal construction project under the Constitution, for an original contract amount of $15,200 (an additional $2,500 was required to finish the lighthouse). A second lighthouse was built and completed in 1881 a short distance away after concern arose about the stability of the first. Both towers of the light station were designated a National Historic Landmark in

rdfs:comment	منارات كيب هنري هي عبارة عن منارات في كيب هنري، تمثل المدخل الجنوبي لخليج تشيسابيك في ولاية فرجينيا الأمريكية. كان الموقع مهماً منذ فترة طويلة للكمية الكبيرة من حركة النقل البحري في المحيطات للمرافئ، والأنهار، والشحن البحري المتجه من الموانئ على الخليج. المنارة الأصلية كانت أول منارة مصرح بها من قبل الحكومة الأمريكية، يعود تاريخها إلى عام 1792. كما كان هذا المشروع أول مشروع بناء فيدرالي بموجب الدستور، حيث بلغ المبلغ الأصلي للعقد 15200 دولار (كان لابد من 2500 دولار إضافية لإنهاء المنارة). تم بناء منارة ثانية واكتملت في عام 1881 على بعد مسافة قصيرة بعد نشوء القلق حول استقرار الأولى. تم تعيين كلا البرجين من محطة الضوء معلمًا تاريخيًا وطنيًا في عام 1970. (ar) Il faro di Capo Henry è un faro situato all'estremità di Capo Henry, il lembo di terra che forma la parte meridionale dell'accesso alla baia di Chesapeake in Virginia. Il faro originale, costruito nel 1792, era costituito da una torre in pietra rivestita in mattoni alta ventisette metri ed è stato il primo faro autorizzato dal governo degli Stati Uniti. Nel 1881 esso venne sostituito da un nuovo faro, più alto e potente, costruito circa 100 metri a nord est della torre originale. La nuova torre è stata realizzata in ghisa con una altezza di cinquanta metri e la sua luce è visibile a diciannove miglia nautiche di distanza. (it) Маяки мыса Генри (англ. Cape Henry Lights) — два маяка, расположенных на мысе Генри, в южной части Чесапикского залива. Административно относятся к городу Виргиния-Бич, штат Виргиния, США. Новый маяк является 11-м по высоте в стране. (ru) Cape Henry Lighthouse ist ein Leuchtturm in Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA, an der Einfahrt vom Atlantik in die Chesapeake Bay. Erbaut wurde Cape Henry Light im Jahr 1792. 1881 wurde ein zweiter Turm errichtet. Das Cape Henry Lighthouse war der erste von der Regierung autorisierte Leuchtturm auf dem Gebiet der damaligen USA.

Le cap Henry est à la frontière méridionale de la baie de Chesapeake et est resté célèbre en raison d'une bataille navale, opposant les Anglais et les Français (« bataille du cap Henry ») en 1781. Le phare du cap Henry a toujours eu un rôle important. En effet, il se situe à l'embouchure de la baie de Chesapeake et sert de repère à un trafic maritime important. Les deux phares sont situés sur le territoire de la ville de Virginia Beach dans l'enceinte de Fort Story, une base militaire américaine. (fr)
