Hooper Strait Light, located in Saint Michaels, Maryland, is a historic screw-pile lighthouse originally constructed in 1879 to mark the entrance to Tangier Sound and the Hooper Strait. The lighthouse was moved to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in 1966 to preserve its structure and history. It is an iconic example of the screw-pile design, featuring a hexagonal cottage-style structure perched on iron pilings.
