Wish your wonderful niece and her fiance a Merry Christmas with a card featuring a lighthouse scene with snow, a Christmas Tree, icy water and mountains against a beautiful blue sky. Design is framed in burgundy lines with snowflakes and burgundy text. Inside like all Greeting Card Universe cards can be personalized by you if you wish to give it your own personal touch. Design by Laurie Schneider, elements by Digital Designs by Elena, Diana'z Designz. The first known lighthouse, the Pharos of Alexandria, Egypt was completed about 280 B.C. It stood more than 350 feet tall until an earthquake destroyed it in the 1300s. The world's oldest working lighthouse, La Coruna, stands at the northwest tip of Spain. The Romans built it early in the second century A.D. It's also called the Tower of Hercules. The tallest masonry U.S. lighthouse is the Cape Hatteras Light near Buxton on North Carolina's Outer Banks. It was recently measured at 207.49 feet from the bottom of the foundation.
