Old Point Comfort Lighthouse

Old Point Comfort Lighthouse stands at the entrance to Hampton Roads in Fort Monroe, Virginia, overlooking one of the most important maritime crossroads on the East Coast. Completed in 1802, it is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay and has guided vessels navigating the waters where the Chesapeake Bay meets the James River, York River, and Atlantic Ocean. The lighthouse has witnessed centuries of maritime commerce, military history, and coastal development at a site of strategic importance since colonial times. Today, it remains one of Virginia's most significant historic landmarks.

This vintage-inspired Old Point Comfort Lighthouse print celebrates one of America's oldest operating coastal beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's historic stone tower, waterfront setting, and enduring connection to the Chesapeake Bay. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of American landmarks, this piece captures the rich history and timeless character of a beacon that has welcomed mariners to Hampton Roads for more than two centuries.
