Sapelo Island Front Range,
Georgia
Harbour Lights #801
2008 Regional Event Exclusive
Built to replace a wood frame
beacon, a new iron Sapelo Front Range beacon built in 1877 was used as an
observation tower by the United States Coast Guard in World War II.
Over time, the channels would
shift and change. The cast iron Front Range Light was built in several
sections so that it could be dismantled and erected on another site to
compensate for those changes and guide mariners safely through Doboy Sound
to Darien. Interestingly, it was never moved and still sits 600’ east of
the 1820 Sapelo tower.
In 1998, the state of Georgia
repainted the beacon at the time of the restoration of the brick Sapelo
Light.
