ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay has opened for tours for the first time in its history.
The 1875 Maryland landmark has been undergoing renovation and has long been a beacon to mark shallow shoal for fishermen and recreational boaters.
Tours began July 7, taking maritime history buffs on a boat ride to the bay icon, which stands 43 feet above the water and is the only screw-pile lighthouse remaining in its original location in the bay.
