The former 1852 iron lighthouse tower at Head of Passes was deemed unnecessary and moved to become the Pass a l’Outre Lighthouse in 1855. After it was decommissioned in 1930, the iron tower was still used as a lookout by the Coast Guard to monitor rum runners. The tower lost its lantern around 2007. As of 2018, the iron shell is still there, half submerged in the marshlands. Back to the edition of: May/Jun 2019
