Sabine Bank Light, Maritime lighthouse in Jefferson County, United States
The Sabine Bank Light, constructed from iron and caisson materials, stands in the Gulf of Mexico south of the Sabine River mouth.
Congress approved funding for the lighthouse between 1900 and 1901 after numerous vessels ran aground near the dangerous Sabine Bank shoals.
The structure represents early twentieth-century maritime engineering, with its original lantern room now displayed at Lions Park in Sabine Pass.
The lighthouse operates on solar power since 1971, continuing to guide vessels through the waters near Port Arthur's shipping channels.
Local fishermen refer to this navigation aid as The Eighteen Mile Light, measuring its distance from the Coast Guard Lifeboat Station.
