Description
While visiting Savannah, I made time to drive down to the Tybee Lighthouse. The only problem with that was due to my schedule the only way I could do that was to leave my hotel at 5:00 AM and drive in the dark. I also arrived in the dark and had to wait a while until the sun started to rise in the east.
The lighthouse was originally ordered by General James Oglethorpe in 1732 and finished construction in 1736. It is Georgia's oldest and tallest lighthouse. Still functioning as a navigational aid it has guided mariners for almost 300 years. With all of the original outbuildings and facilities on the grounds, this is one of the most interesting and complete lighthouses I have seen.
