ape San Blas has had 4 lighthouses. The first, built in 1847, collapsed during a gale on August 23-24 of 1851. Congress appropriated $12,000 for a second brick tower lighthouse for the cape which was finally finished in November of 1855, but it was destroyed on August 30, 1856, when another hurricane struck Cape San Blas.
