Crypto lighthouses: Crypto Lighthouse 01 - Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

Based on a real lighthouse - Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, US

Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse - The Jupiter Inlet Light can be found in Jupiter, Florida, on the north side of the Jupiter Inlet. The location for this lighthouse was chosen in 1853 and is located between Cape Canaveral Light and the Hillsboro Inlet Light. The lighthouse was constructed under the supervision of Captain Edward A. Yorke in 1860 at a cost of more than $60,000. The lighthouse was built on a hill that at one time was thought to be an Indian shell mound, but has since been determined to be a natural parabolic sand dune. The top of the 105-foot tower is 153 feet above sea level and the light can be seen 28 miles at sea. The lighthouse structure is brick with double masonry walls and the outer wall is conical in shape. The circumference at the base of the Jupiter Light is about 65 feet and about 43 feet at the top.
