The light was replaced with a buoy about 5-6 years ago and except for weather equipment
the tower has not been in use . There are many wrecks in the area and the tower is positioned at the tip of Cape Fear shoals which are mean . With the advent of gps the govt figured there was no need to continue the operation of the light which had been present either by lightship or the current tower for over 100 years .
