About Brownsville Channel Outbound Range E Rear Lighthouse
An 18-meter tall, square skeletal steel tower guides vessels departing the Brownsville Channel. It stands on a platform supported by piles and displays a red and white vertically striped rectangular daymark. The light emits a green signal, flashing once every 6 seconds. This structure is located on the north side of the channel, directly opposite the Range A Rear Light, forming a critical alignment for outbound traffic. The geographic range of the light is 13 nautical miles. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This range light is essential for the safe navigation of vessels exiting the port of Brownsville, ensuring they maintain the correct alignment within the channel to prevent groundings and collisions.
