Biloxi Light, Cast iron lighthouse in Biloxi, United States.
The Biloxi Light stands 18.5 meters tall near the Mississippi Sound, constructed with brick and cast iron materials that define its structural composition.
Built in 1848 following a Congressional authorization of $12,000, the lighthouse was manufactured by the Baltimore foundry Murray and Hazlehurst for maritime navigation.
The lighthouse received recognition through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and designation as a Mississippi Landmark in 1987.
The structure underwent a $400,000 restoration following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, reinforcing its ability to withstand severe weather conditions.
Female keepers maintained this lighthouse for longer than any other lighthouse in the United States, including the Younghans family who served for 63 years.
