Carysfort Lighthouse, Florida Keys (4K)

Carysfort Lighthouse is located off the coast of Key Largo in the Florida Keys. It was built in 1852 and named after the HWS Carysfort, a Royal Navy Post Ship, that ran aground on the reef in 1770.

Interesting fact, Carysfort Lighthouse was built under the direction of Lieutenant
George Gordon Meade, the same George Gordon Meade that when on as Commanding General to win the Battle of Getteysburg in 1863. And Meade was in command of the Union Army of the Potomac until the close of the U.S. civil war.
