The Lighthouses of North Carolina puzzle by photographer Peter Doran features the 7 lighthouses of North Carolina. In short, this historical 550-piece beach jigsaw puzzle is a favorite for lighthouse fans.
About the Artwork
The lighthouses are Currituck, Bodie, Hatteras, Ocracoke, Cape Lookout, Bald Head and Oak Island. Each one has its own shape, pattern and history.
In addition, Peter Doran photographed every lighthouse along the coast. As a result, the puzzle shows their true colors.
Because each lighthouse is a small scene of its own, the puzzle is fun to build in sections.
If you enjoy this design, be sure to look at Highway 12 and Battleship North Carolina, also by Peter Doran.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build each lighthouse one at a time, using its pattern as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on any labels. After that, piece together the land and water around each one. Finally, fill in the sky, sorting those pieces by shade.

I really enjoyed putting together the lighthouses puzzle. It was challenging, but worth the time. Matter of fact, it didn’t take as long as I anticipated. The quality of the puzzle is magnificent and made a gorgeous picture which we framed and hung in our sunroom.
