Pass Manchac Light, Stone and brick lighthouse in Tangipahoa Parish, United States.
The Pass Manchac Light featured a cylindrical tower connected to a dwelling, standing 40 feet tall with white markings on Lake Pontchartrain.
Built in 1857 as the fourth lighthouse on this site, the structure guided vessels through Pass Manchac between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas.
The lighthouse served as home to keeper Mary Succow from 1873 to 1909, who maintained the light while raising her family at the station.
The lantern room, removed in 2002, remains preserved at the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum in Madisonville, Louisiana for public viewing.
Hurricane Isaac destroyed the structure in 2012, leading to its removal from the National Register of Historic Places in January 2019.
