Cape Henlopen Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located at the entrance of the Delaware Bay in Delaware. Originally built in 1767, it served as a crucial navigational aid for ships entering the bay. The lighthouse was constructed to help guide vessels safely along the coast and into the nearby port of Lewes. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1926 and fell into disrepair over the years. Today, it is part of Cape Henlopen State Park and is a popular site for visitors interested in history and maritime heritage. The lighthouse remains a symbol of the area's rich nautical past.
