Lighthouse To Go

The residents of Block Island fight to save a sea side lighthouse from beach erosion. They join together and hire a team of brothers to move the lighthouse back from the cliffs. The 2,000 ton structure is moved 300 feet in an effort to save it from the ongoing erosion of the bluffs along the coast of Rhode Island.
