Frying Pan Shoals Light History
Frying Pan Tower is the namesake of Frying Pan Shoals… For many years before modern-day GPS, the light burned on top of the tower, warning mariners of the shallow and treacherous shoals. It was manned by the Coast Guard until it was decommissioned in 2004. In this video you can see waves breaking 12 miles offshore, showing the shoals in all their glory. No longer a navigational aid, the tower now stands as a testament to restoration and preservation and serves as a glimpse into maritime history.

One of our favorite things to do at the tower is handling the many underwater tasks associated with our forward progress. Every single dive, we get the pleasure of diving with these gentle giants - the Sand Tiger Sharks… Although they appear very scary, they are rather docile and often try to get away from you. This is my absolute favorite shot of a shark I’ve ever taken. Hope you enjoy! - Logan 🤘 | Frying Pan Tower

Sunny on the other side but it’s nighttime here! The drive to finish this clearly enormous restoration project does occasionally wake me early to resolve an existing or new problem on the tower.

All of these are related as in without power from the big generator, I can’t charge the weak battery bank to power the systems that reach out via microwave to connect us to t

It’s in the details, the vision, and the steady hand that history is built, and only a few truly understand what it takes. Here’s to Richard - the man with a vision… 🫡 | Frying Pan Tower
