Cape Henry Lighthouses

Cape Henry Lighthouses stand near the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach, Virginia, marking one of the most important maritime gateways on the Atlantic Coast. The original lighthouse, completed in 1792, was the first federally funded public works project authorized by the United States government. As maritime traffic increased, a second lighthouse was constructed nearby in 1881 and continues to serve as an active navigational aid. Together, the two towers reflect more than two centuries of American maritime history and the strategic importance of the Chesapeake Bay.

This vintage-inspired Cape Henry Lighthouses print celebrates the historic pair of beacons that have guided generations of mariners into the Chesapeake Bay. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and clean geometric forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the distinctive silhouettes of both towers, the coastal landscape, and their enduring role in American navigation. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of American landmarks, this piece honors two of the nation's most significant and recognizable lighthouses.
