I love everything about NC from the Mountains to the Coastal Plains. Thank you for making this video. It is a great addition to the North Carolina unit we do in Fourth Grade!!
I am a 4th grade teacher in NC. Our Social Studies curriculum is NC History. This video is an excellent introduction to our NC Lighthouses Unit. Thank you for such a beautiful video to share with my students!
I was NOT surprised that the Narrator missed a very interesting fact about Hatteras and Lookout. They were originally built at the same time or extremely close. Hatteras was supposed to be the "Premiere Lighthouse of the Eastern Coast. The reason being that Diamond Shoals was the most dangerous of the Eastern Seaboard, SO the U.S. Government wanted it to be memorable. They decided that a UNIQUE paint scheme would do it. What did it warn the ships of and away from? Diamond Shoals. So the Government decided on a Diamond Pattern. Unfortunately, those building the Lighthouses couldn't read, OR maybe they could not read the written instructions. The Barbershop Stripe was to go to Lookout and the Diamond to Hatteras. Unfortunately, by the time the mistake was caught, IT WAS TOO LATE. Sailors knew that when they saw the stripes to avoid Diamond Shoals. IF you look closely at the Diamond Pattern on Lookout YOU will see that the scale is off. Had those Diamonds BEEN painted on Hatteras the Diamond Pattern would look like Diamonds NOT checkerboard. Fun fact when you REALLY RESEARCH WHAT IT IS THAT INTERESTS YOU.
That was so nice, maybe one of the prettiest and most restful videos on UA-cam, making NC look a great place to visit. I suppose the 'Graveyard of the Atlantic' moniker tells us how necessary that string of coastal lights really was, though, especially in the days before modern communications.
Very enjoyable...love seeing other state lighthouse videos after completing a video of 30 of the Maine lighthouses that can be visited or viewed from the shore.

It's great that the Bodie Island lighthouse is open for tours now. I went up last month.
