Wholesale Garden Key Lighthouse - Blueprint Pin - Fort Jefferson

This original design features the historic Garden Key Lighthouse located at Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park. First lit in 1826, the original lighthouse helped guide mariners through the challenging waters of the Florida Straits. It was later replaced in the 1870s with a more modern iron tower, depicted in this pin, positioned atop the fort’s sally port. The lighthouse is no longer in commission but it does still stand strong. While this pin design pays homage to Fort Jefferson’s historical legacy, it is an artistic representation originally created by Pin Hive and is not affiliated with the National Park Service. Historical Significance: Garden Key, home to Fort Jefferson, lies roughly 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, and is only accessible by boat or seaplane. Fort Jefferson is one of the largest brick structures in the Americas, serving historically as a fort, prison, and naval refueling station. Today, it remains a symbol of resilience, maritime history, and the enduring power of light to guide the way.
