Lighthouse Reopened Following Move

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in Buxton, N.C., reopened in a maritime forest set 1,600 feet back from the ocean surf that had threatened to topple the landmark before it was moved last year. Hundreds of visitors were waiting to climb the 208-foot brick behemoth when the heavy bronze doors swung open in the morning. The lighthouse, which went into service in 1870, sat just 150 feet from the Atlantic Ocean before the move.
