New Point Comfort Lighthouse Picture (ID: 207)Print Title: New Point Comfort Lighthouse - Virginia (Image #4) Greeting Card Caption: Built in 1805 at the northern entrance of Mobjack Bay, New Point Comfort Lighthouse was the fourth constructed on the Chesapeake Bay. The lighthouse was originally complimented by support structures such as a keeper's house and was surrounded by a beach of several-hundred acres. The keeper's house was dismantled in 1919, and most of the surrounding beach washed away during hurricane floods in 1933. The lighthouse is now owned and maintained by Mathews County, Virginia.
