Episode 78 - Cape Fear Lighthouse

The Lighthouse Lowdown by Emily Straight and Vincent Bailey

Episode notes

Unfortunately, the name Cape Fear directly correlates to how mariners felt about the area, dubbing the Frying Pan Shoals almost as fearsome as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. However, efforts to light the area were a struggle, and we ended up with many different lighthouses (and lightships) in an attempt to mark the shoals.
