Bloody Point Range Lights

The Bloody Point Range Lights, which is known as the Bloody Point Lighthouse, were range lights on the southern end of Daufuskie Island in Beaufort County, South Carolina.

[2][3] The Front Range Light was a red, kerosene lamp placed in a gable-fronted dormer window of the lightkeeper's house.

John Michael Doyle, who was an employee of the manufacturer, supervised the erection of the tower on a concrete foundation on 5 acres (2.0 ha) plot about 4,350 feet (1,330 m) inland of the front light.

At night, the red steamer lamp with parabolic reflector was raised on rails to a height of 81 feet (25 m).

A 45 feet (14 m) tall wooden house on metal legs was placed on leased land near the shore.

[2][11] Although wine making was a small operation, he called the building the Silver Dew Winery.

Two small brick buildings with the sign for the Silver Dew Winery were described by Pat Conroy in his autobiographical book the Water is Wide.
