About Tybee Island Range Front Lighthouse
An iron tower was installed in 1877 to serve as the Tybee Island Range Front lighthouse. This structure replaced a previous tower erected in 1867, which itself was a successor to an earlier wooden tower destroyed during the Civil War. The light's position was later moved offshore between 1908 and 1915. The lighthouse is situated near Tybee Island, Georgia, at the mouth of the Savannah River, with the nearest port being Savannah, 10.2 kilometers away. It emits a single white flash.
Why it matters: This lighthouse worked with a rear light to guide vessels along a specific navigational channel, ensuring precise alignment for safe passage.
