Description
Middle Bay Lighthouse as it looked in the past. When the light was deactivated in 1967 the lantern tower was removed. Today there is only a smile flashing red light in its place. The historic lighthouse in the bay at Mobile Alabama is one of the last screwpile style lighthouses still at sea.
Built in the 1880's I've seen the date of construction as either 1885 or 1883. There was a major renovation about 1905 but the original pilings and much of the light station is apparently still from the 1880's.
