Would love to see Cape Charles VA included in the collection.It is a steel skeleton light and sits opposite of the Cape Henry lights at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.

Howdy Jkevin, and welcome to the forums.
I too would love to see Cape Charles, and I think it would be fitting to dothis light since the keepers quarters burned down last summer.

I agree. Besides being another Virginia light to add to my collection, the design is different than most others.

Cape Charles light would be a very nice addition to the HL lineup. I remember returning from sea and of course, seeing Cape Charles on Smith Island to the starboard, and Cape Henry to the port. I knew I was going to be home soon! Here is a link to view Cape Charles light. http://www.cheslights.org/images/capechs-lg.jpg Tim - Keeping the flame lit...

Welcome aboard, JKevin. Hey, good choice. I wouldn't be surprised if Harbour Lights had it on their "to-do" list. Probably not in 2001, but I could see it as a 2002 release. Easily.

Thanks for the info.There was no report about it here in the local papers,which being so remote it was unlikely to get any coverage.I really enjoy reading the forums and looking foward to getting to know everyone. Kevin

Cape Charles , VA ............ Great Choice and there are plenty of pictures of the keepers quarters for it to be included. Add my vote. Cape Charles is a winner
