Description

This black and white photograph features a small house style lighthouse built on piles over the water in the Horn Island-Petit Bois Island Pass, eight miles from Pascagoula, Mississippi. Two men can be seen standing on the porch that wraps around the house and small boats are hanging from slings on either side of the house. A typed label on the back of the photograph describes the charm of the lighthouse and it's optimal vantage point to view various marine life.
