Harbour Lights Price's Creek NC

The unique lighthouse, located along the banks of the Cape Fear River welcomes travelers passing through this pristine country. Inaccessible to the public, you can still get a glimpse of this important part of nautical history while traveling by ferry.

Price's Creek was known to be a pre-Civil War lighthouse, which lends towards a rather sorted history of battle and bloodshed near the unassuming beacon. When the Civil War began the range lights along the Cape Fear River were taken over and used as signal towers by the Confederate States Signal Corps. Soon after that, all but one was destroyed.

Built in 1848, this petite lighthouse stood twenty feet tall. It was the last lighthouse built on the river and is the only beacon along the river that still stands today. Originally, two beacons were built next to each other, a twenty-foot circular brick structure and a wooden structure on top of a keeper's brick house. The wooden tower was severely damaged during the late 1800's and eventually disappeared. The brick beacon is the remaining part that still stands today.

Because this historic memento is located on private property today, the best view for visitors is from the top deck of the ferry while traveling through the Southport Harbor. Harbour Lights has depicted this lighthouse as the little red brick tower stood in pristine condition.
