The Biloxi Lighthouse, located in Biloxi, Mississippi, is an iconic coastal beacon with a rich history dating back to 1848. Constructed of cast iron, it stands 65 feet tall and is one of the few remaining lighthouses along the Gulf Coast. The lighthouse has weathered numerous hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which severely damaged the surrounding area but left the lighthouse standing. Notably, the Biloxi Lighthouse was operated by female keepers for much of its history, a rare occurrence in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
