Ocracoke Lighthouse

Ocracoke Lighthouse stands on Ocracoke Island within North Carolina's Outer Banks. Completed in 1823, it is the oldest operating lighthouse in North Carolina and the second-oldest operating lighthouse in the United States. The white conical tower was built to guide vessels through Ocracoke Inlet, a vital passage connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the waters of Pamlico Sound. Surrounded by barrier island landscapes, maritime forests, and historic coastal communities, the lighthouse remains a defining symbol of Ocracoke's maritime heritage.

This vintage-inspired Ocracoke Lighthouse print celebrates one of America's most historic coastal beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's distinctive white tower, island setting, and enduring connection to the Outer Banks. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, island travelers, maritime historians, and collectors of American landmarks, this piece captures the timeless character of a beacon that has guided mariners through Ocracoke Inlet for more than two centuries.
