Yes, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was indeed moved and rebuilt. In 1999, the lighthouse was relocated about 2,900 feet inland to protect it from coastal erosion and rising sea levels. Originally constructed in 1870, it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States and remains a prominent historical landmark. The relocation preserved its structural integrity and continued its role in maritime navigation.

Was USS Alligator submarine ever found?

No - USS Alligator, the U.S. Navy's first submarine, was cut loose during bad weather while being towed off of Cape Hatteras. It's not known if she sank immediately (unlikely) or drifted some time before sinking. As such, and due to the extreme weather the Hatteras area normally sees during hurricane season, the only way she'll ever be found (if ever) is by accident.
