This is a historical pic from the late 1800's. Not only is this lighthouse been swallowed up by the Chesapeake Bay, but most of Watt's Island has dissappeared also. Located between Tangier Island and The Eastern Shore of VA, Watt's was once two islands, Big Watt's and Little Watts. This lighthouse was built on Little Watts, which is totally gone. Big Watts probably will be too sometime in the next 30 years. The island has been uninhabited by people for decades. Not sure the orientation of the buildings to true north, I took liberties in hoping it was looking east to get the sunrise as I did.
