beautiful, beautiful drawings. Thanks for posting them

You guys are too funny. Thanks for all of your info Melody. I have some catching up to do again. Love, love all of your photos and wonderful history lessons. Thanks so much!!

Melody, I have two Cape Hatteras lighthouse architectural drawings framed and will have to take pics and post them. I bought them many years ago at the Gingerbread House in Buxton/Frisco ~ think I paid .75 per print and spent a small fortune to have them framed. I love them! Thanks for posting the other drawings.

Robert - None of my young guys can draft, letter or sketch....... Sad In MY Day, (LOL )you could tell an architect just by his handwriting.....Now I'm the old guy. Even though I can use CAD, I still prefer to sketch every plan, layout & detail by hand and let the young gunslingers turn it into CAD drawings and 3D renderings. I have a great fondness for hand drawing maps, architectural drawings and naval architectural drawings.

I have always been envious of my dad's beautiful drawing and lettering. He is a 1941 grad of VMI in civil engineering. He was in the D-Day invasion of Normandy in WW2 and I still cannot believe how those guys did what they did. BTW, he is still alive and kicking at age 89. Frank

I think I have the same ones....one is the entire lighthouse, 1869 with both outside (no stripes) view and one cut-away view; the other is detail of the top, including the walkway and the light.
