Operation Lighthouse Rescue

Operation Lighthouse Rescue charts the epic engineering battle to move the 160-year-old Gay Head Lighthouse from the edge of a crumbling cliff. A landmark of American history loved by locals, it protects mariners by warning boats away from the ‘Devil’s Bridge’; a deadly shoal along the coastline of Martha’s Vineyard. But the fragile structure was never built to be moved and with hurricane season approaching, one more severe storm could cause a catastrophic collapse.

With an expert team including heavy haulers and surveyors in place, the race is on to relocate the majestic building back further inland, ensuring its safety for years to come.
