Rebecca Shoal Light, Wooden lighthouse in Monroe County, Florida.
The lighthouse stood 66 feet tall on high pilings above Rebecca Shoal, located between the Marquesas Keys and Dry Tortugas in the Florida waters.
Built in 1886 after multiple construction attempts, the lighthouse operated with a fourth order Fresnel lens until its deactivation and subsequent demolition in 1953.
The lighthouse marked a navigation point where the Spanish steamer Valbanera sank in 1919, resulting in 488 casualties during a major Florida Keys hurricane.
The structure featured a square house configuration with a white flash every 6 seconds and included a red sector specifically designed to warn ships about the shoal.
Following automation in 1926, the original lantern was preserved and later mounted on a private lighthouse structure in Key Largo.
