Description:
|
|
Bloody Point Lighthouse, often overlooked due to it bearing no resemblance to a typical lighthouse, rests at the southern tip of Daufuskie Island. The two-story structure is of the same design as the keepers' houses at Tybee Island, except for the addition of a large dormer jutting out from the roof of Bloody Point, the buildings are identical. It was a typical-looking, residential structure of its day. Built in 1883, it was designed as a front range light. Its function was the same as that of the Haig Point Lighthouse at the northern end of the island, meaning that when a ship lined up the front range light with the rear range light, the ship was in the channel. The placement of these range lights was very important in the early days to ensure safe passage into and out of the busy port of Savannah, which is just to the south.
