I would love one of the Galveston South Jetty lighthouse, which unfortunetly was destroyed by a hurricane in 2001.

As I recall, Zachary, weren't they working on moving it to safety on the shore when it met it's unfortunate end?

Yes they were, the barge was just days away from the LH when the hurricane struck, knocking the decrepid tower off the rusty piles.

Here's a more detailed account on what happened that I wrote on lighthousing.net

Somewhere around laste 2000, a business man proposed moving the LH inland and restoring it. Then, turning it into a museum and opening it to the public. 6 months later, a barge was on its way to move the LH inland. On may 2nd, the hurricane struck and due to the rusting piles, the lighthouse gave way to the powerful storm, the newer keepers quarters survived though, because they were added later and the pilings on which they stood were not nearly as rusty.
So, the LH went from this to this .
If that hurricane had come a week later, the LH could've been saved.
Here are some old pics of when it was first build if anyone's interested

I'd just like to say w00t!

Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks for the links, Zachary! Great pictures! The HL model is a really beautiful reproduction.
