Tower Listing By Height

 

I created this page so that visitors can easily compare the heights of all the lighthouses, of which Cape Hatteras is the tallest. However, I do have the Perry Memorial in Ohio listed on the site. This isn't a true "lighthouse" in the sense, but most people do consider it an aid to navigation. Because of that I did include it on the website. And because it stands 352' feet tall, it shows up as the tallest of all the lights.

One other comment I want to make is that I did the best that I could in finding the tower heights. However, there are eleven lights at the bottom of the list that I couldn't find. I will continue to look for them, but in the meantime, I wanted to get the page up on the site for people to enjoy. If you know the heights of any of the unlisted ones, or know where I can find them, please email me using the link at the bottom of the page. Also, feel free to use the link if you see any glaring inconsistencies in the tower heights.
