Mobile Point Range Lights, Harbor lighthouse at Mobile Bay entrance, Alabama, United States
The Mobile Point Range Lights consisted of a primary 40-foot brick tower with two shorter masonry towers serving as navigation support structures.
The original lighthouse, built in 1822 for $9,995, met its end during the Battle of Mobile Bay when Confederate and Union forces exchanged fire.
The lighthouse keepers maintained continuous operation alongside military personnel from Fort Morgan, marking the entrance to one of the South's major ports.
The fourth-order Fresnel lens from the final lighthouse structure remains on display at the Fort Morgan Museum for public viewing.
After multiple reconstructions, the 1872 iron lattice tower stood for 94 years until its replacement by a 120-foot radio-style skeletal structure.
