Cockspur Island Lighthouse at Low Tide

3D Model

Cockspur Island Lighthouse Digital Preservation Project - 3D digital heritage survey of the lighthouse at Cockspur Island, Fort Pulaski, Georgia – a collaboration between the University of South Florida Libraries (USF DHHC and USF CDHGI), the National Park Service (NPS) and the Southeast Archeological Center (SEAC). The survey recorded conditions of this imperiled site with these data used to create metrological models, GIS assessments, and sectional analyses. Terrestrial laser scanning, photogrammetry, and GPS data were collected as part of this effort. The 3D landscape data is shown with modeled low tide levels to indicate threatened with inundation. At high tide, the complete island is underwater, sometimes higher than the entrance door to the lighthouse.
