Hooper Island Lighthouse - Historic Chesapeake Bay Beacon #2280411 (License: Personal Use)

This finely detailed ink drawing depicts the Hooper Island Light Station, a caisson-style lighthouse built in 1879 on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The artwork highlights its cast-iron tower, gallery walkway, lantern room, and sturdy submerged foundation, all rendered with expressive cross-hatching to convey texture and motion in the surrounding waves and sky. Signed by artist Kretzoh in 2014, it reflects both historical accuracy and artistic interpretation.
