About Pass Manchac Lighthouse
Built in 1837, the Pass Manchac Lighthouse stood 40 meters tall. The first lighthouse at this location was established in 1838. Several structures were built on the site, with the fourth and final tower constructed in 1857. Previous towers, erected in 1838, 1842, and 1846, required replacement due to construction issues and rising water levels. The light was operational for 130 years.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marked the north side of the entrance to Pass Manchac, a channel connecting Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas.
Background
Pass Manchac Light was a historic lighthouse in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, which was originally established in 1838, to mark the north side of the entrance to Pass Manchac, the channel between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas. The fourth and last tower on this particular site was constructed in 1857 and was in service for 130 years. The first three had been built in 1838, 1842, and 1846, in each case requiring replacement due to poor construction and/or encroaching lake waters.Light & Optic
