Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Memorial3D ModelNoAI
Historical monument and plaque built using bricks from the original lighthouse structure from c.1848. A brick structure comprised the original tower which stood 65 ft. tall - not high enough to provide adequate light and warning to ships. A taller, iron structure was built next to it in 1868. In 1893 the iron tower began to be disassembled and the brick tower was destroyed with materials to be reused in the reconstruction and moving of the iron tower to a new (present-day) location - 1 mile inland and better protected from beach erosion. Our archaeological work re-discovered the ruins of the original brick tower along the Canaveral coastal shore 3D Model. This memorial, located at the present-day lighthouse site, was made by an Eagle Scout from a local scout troop using bricks collected from the original lighthouse. A similar memorial is found at the old tower location. See our full digital model collection for Canaveral Light Stations - 3D Collection
