Description
A beautiful clear day at Morris Island Lighthouse taken from Folly Beach, South Carolina, United States. This area of the beach has a lot of dead trees and driftwood due to erosion issues. Morris Island Lighthouse which was constructed in 1876 and is on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. When built, it was 1,200 from the edge of the Water and today it is surrounded by water several hundred feet off shore. In 1889 the construction of jetties leading to Charleston Harbor altered ocean currents, resulting in rapid erosion of Morris Island and many other historic structures. The Shoreline reached the lighthouse in 1938. In 1962 it was decommissioned and replaced by the new Lighthouse on nearby Sullivans Island, which is seen in this photo on the right.
