Lonely Sentinel: The Sabine Bank Lighthouse
Lonely Sentinel: The Sabine Bank LighthouseCompleted in 1906, the Sabine Bank Lighthouse was once the most remote lighthouse in the United States. Situated in the Gulf of Mexico upon Sabine Bank, a sandy shoal approximately 15 miles from the coasts of Texas and Louisiana, it was also known as, "Eighteen Mile Light," and, "The Spark Plug of The Gulf."  The tower was dismantled in 2002, but the original caisson stands to this very day - now home to a modern steel skeleton light tower.
Ever On Watch: The Sabine Pass Lighthouse
Ever On Watch: The Sabine Pass LighthouseThe Sabine Pass Lighthouse rises from the marshes of Cameron Parish in Southwest Louisiana.  Completed in 1856, the site has endured hurricanes, marsh fires, floods, and even a Civil War battle.  Now home to nesting barn owls and other specimens of marsh life, steps are at last being taken to preserve this historic site.
