Light-House Island, South Carolina
LIGHT-HOUSE ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA. Opposite the main ship channel into Charleston Harbor, this island was the middle portion of a feature known collectively as Morris Island. The lighthouse for which it was named was built in 1767 and is still in place, though it went out of service in 1962. The southern of the three islands making up this feature was called Coffin Land.
