Charleston Light on Sullivan's Island,SC

This past Saturday we were watching the morning news when we saw a news reporter talking about how the Sullivan Light would be open to the public for a few hours today. Since, we had not visited a lighthouse before we all decided that this would be an excellent plan for the day. The Sullivan Lighthouse was the last major lighthouse to be built in the United States. It was commissioned on June 15,1962. Architect Jack Graham did not design a lighthouse in the traditional circular shape, instead it is 3 sided. In 1989 Hurricane Hugo had wind gusts up to 125 mph and the lighthouse demonstrated its ability to withstand such wind gusts.
 All four of us enjoyed the views of the island from the 4th floor observation area. It was a gorgeous clear day to see the beauty of Sullivan's Island.
