Product Description
It was the move of the century! In the summer of 1999, America's tallest, most recognized and most photographed lighthouse - the Cape Hatteras lighthouse - was moved from its original location to a new home 1600 feet from the sea. Hear both sides of the debate on whether or not to move the beloved monument. Learn about its rich history. Understand the science and technology behind a move of this magnitude. From its construction in 1870 to the dramatic relighting ceremony in November 1999, witness it all in this fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary. Featuring Walter Cronkite. Narrated by Stockard Channing. Original score by Loonis McGlohon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, July 14, 2000
By Tim (Tucker, Ga United States) - See all my reviews
Even with all the technological advances we have at our disposal these days, I honestly didn't think something this tall and old could be moved so far and so successfully. This is truly a magnificent engineering achievement. This video also does a great job of displaying both sides of the argument of whether or not the Lighthouse should be moved. It was very interesting to see the changes in the attitudes and opinions of the "Locals" after the move was successfully completed. All in all, this is a "must have" (I really do hate that term, but it fits) for History Buffs!
