Yes it was out again in 92-96 forgot about that... Seems this light has been around for 183 years and only been lit about 60+ of those years.

As for Hog Island, I have a book on the history of NC lighthouses and the pictures of Cape Fears' demolition are different than the one on Lighthouse Friends. I did some digging and found a book in VA lighthouse history and it has a nice photo spread of Hog Island's demolition. The photo on Lighthouse friends was one of those photos. Cape Fear lighthouse had trees and brush around the tower, Hog island was more of a denuded landscape. Here is a link to the Virgina Lighthouse book's bit on Hog island. (may not work with Firefox)
