Thomas Point Lighthouse
Perhaps the most photographed lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay, The Thomas Point Lighthouse is the last screwpile structure left on its original site in the bay. It went into service on November 27, 1875, to replace a light on the shore at Thomas Point at the entrance to the South River. The Lighthouse Board thought that a light on the shoal would better serve the shipping traffic in the bay. A screwpile with a hexagonal 1-1/2-story building perched on the spidery legs, the light’s lantern rises out of the center of the building. During its early years, floating ice tipped over the fourth-order lens in the lantern. In time heavy rip rap was placed around the lighthouse to fend off the ice. With its red roof and white sides this picturesque lighthouse is a fine example of its type. Even though the lighthouse was the last staffed lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay, the light and fog signal, both now automated, are still active.
