Sunset at Cape Lookout

The Sunset at Cape Lookout puzzle by William Mangum pays tribute to one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the world. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle captures the beacon at the end of the day.

About the Artwork

The Cape Lookout Lighthouse is famous for its diagonal checkerboard design. As a result, people recognize it the moment they see it.

In addition, this noble beacon has watched over the Atlantic shoreline since 1859. Standing 163 feet tall, it rises high above the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The sunset sky gives the scene a warm, glowing backdrop.

Like William Mangum’s other lighthouse puzzles in our collection, the artwork is detailed, peaceful and inviting.

Where to Start

Start with the border, then build the lighthouse, since its checkerboard pattern stands out right away. Next, work on the sunset, grouping pieces by their warm tones. After that, piece together the land and any water. Finally, fill in the remaining sky, sorting those pieces by shade.
