Spirit of Cape Henlopen

Cape Henlopen Light was a victim of a locomoting dune that ultimately consumed the land and led to the final demise of the light during a howling storm on a winter day in 1925. The lighthouse was built in 1767 and guided ships from the Atlantic to the Delaware Bay for over 150 years. The mug image is a reproduction of an original watercolor by Lee M. Buchanan.
