About Cockspur Island Lighthouse
Constructed in 1837, the Cockspur Island Light stands as Georgia's smallest lighthouse. Its tower reaches a height of 14 meters, with the focal plane at the same elevation. This structure, first lit in 1837, ceased its active role as a navigational aid in 1909. Although no longer in operational service, the lighthouse has been relit periodically since 2007, serving historical commemoration rather than navigation.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is part of Fort Pulaski National Monument and is situated on an islet at the south channel of the Savannah River.
