The listing, United States: 1990, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina Lighthouse, Scott # US-2471 - US-5301d has ended.

Cape Hatteras Light is located on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks in the town of Buxton, NC. The Outer Banks are a group of barrier islands on the NC coast that separate the Atlantic Ocean from the coastal sounds and inlets. Atlantic currents in this area made for excellent travel for ships, except in the area of Diamond Shoals, just offshore at Cape Hatteras. The large number of ships that ran aground because of these shifting sandbars gave this area the nickname "Graveyard of the Atlantic." It also led Congress to authorize the construction of the Cape Hatteras Light. Its 210-foot height makes it the tallest brick lighthouse structure in the United States and 2nd in the world.
