Lighthouse · St. Michaels, Maryland
Hooper Strait Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1879 and no longer serves as a light for ships. The screw-pile cottage stood in Hooper Strait until 1966, when it was moved to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels; it is the museum's showpiece on Navy Point.
