<a href="http://www.digitizedchaos.com/2010/03/27/pensacola-light/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">main</a> ..while we were around pensacola, we were thinking of going to the pensacola light(house), but we can’t quite figure where it was so we ended up at the Nat’l Naval Aviation Museum.. turns out it was just a few meters away.. The first Pensacola Light was the lightship Aurora Borealis. It was moved to Pensacola in 1823 from its previous post at the mouth of the Mississippi River after a lighthouse had been completed there. Because of frequent rough seas, the lightship had to be anchored inside the bay entrance, behind Santa Rosa Island, and could not reliably be seen from ships outside the bay.In 1825 a 40 foot tower was built on a 40 foot bluff at the south entrance to Pensacola Bay. This light was also partially obscured by trees close to the tower and on Santa Rosa Island. In 1858 a new tower was built on the north side of the bay entrance, and was lit on January 1, 1859. The new, and current, tower is 150 feet tall, and also sits on a 40 foot bluff located on the Pensacola Naval Air Station, placing the light 190 feet above sea level.
