Image title | Top of the Sabine Bank Lighthouse -- all that remains of a metal, caisson-style lighthouse (not to be confused with the far taller Sabine Pass Lighthouse that stands in Louisiana waters) that guarded the entrance to the Sabine River at Sabine Pass between southern Texas and Louisiana, beginning in 1904. Because of its remoteness, keepers often spent weeks or months in the structure between breaks. The light station served as a lookout post during World War II. The light in the deteriorating little lightouse was extinguished in 2001. A year later its topmost 25 feet were removed to a park in tiny Sabine Pass, Texas, a community that had been the second-largest in Jefferson County until repeated hurricanes devastated the community. |
