About: List of lighthouses in Virginia

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

This is a list of all lighthouses in the U.S. state of Virginia as identified by the United States Coast Guard. There are nine active lights in the state as well as three automated caissons and eleven skeleton towers replacing previously staffed lights. The first lighthouse in the state was erected in 1792 (the first Cape Henry Light) and it is the oldest surviving structure; the last, Chesapeake Light, was built in 1965 (ignoring automated towers erected later). The tallest extant tower is that at Cape Charles Light.

  • This is a list of all lighthouses in the U.S. state of Virginia as identified by the United States Coast Guard. There are nine active lights in the state as well as three automated caissons and eleven skeleton towers replacing previously staffed lights. The first lighthouse in the state was erected in 1792 (the first Cape Henry Light) and it is the oldest surviving structure; the last, Chesapeake Light, was built in 1965 (ignoring automated towers erected later). The tallest extant tower is that at Cape Charles Light. If not otherwise noted, focal height and coordinates are taken from the United States Coast Guard Light List, while location and dates of activation, automation, and deactivation are taken from the United States Coast Guard Historical information site for lighthouses. Locations of demolished lights have been estimated using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) navigational charts. (en)
  • La liste des phares en Virginie dresse la liste des phares de l'État américain de la Virginie répertoriés par la United States Coast Guard. Située juste au nord de la Caroline du Nord, la côte atlantique de la Virginie est une chaîne d'îles-barrières de sable qui possédait quelques hauts phares. Les aides à la navigation en Virginie sont gérées par le cinquième district de l' United States Coast Guard , mais la propriété (et parfois l’exploitation) de phares historiques a été transférée aux autorités et aux organisations de préservation locales. Leur préservation est assurée par le National Park Service ou par des propriétaires privés et sont répertoriés au Registre national des lieux historiques (*). (fr)
