About Holland Island Bar Lighthouse
This screw-pile lighthouse stood in the Chesapeake Bay. It was first lit in 1889, the same year it was built. The light displayed a white color with a focal height of 11 meters. The lighthouse was operational until 1960. Its unique construction type, screw-pile, allowed it to be built in the bay's waters.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is remembered for the unexplained death of one of its keepers and for being "attacked" by Navy pilots during a training exercise.
