Cat Island Lighthouse

Cat Island Lighthouse was a historic coastal lighthouse located on Cat Island, approximately eight miles off the Mississippi Gulf Coast near Gulfport. First established in 1831, the lighthouse helped guide ships navigating the Mississippi Sound and the busy shipping routes leading toward New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Over the years, the lighthouse was rebuilt and modified as storms and changing coastal conditions took their toll, becoming a familiar landmark for mariners traveling through the region. In 1937 the light was discontinued due to decreasing traffic through the area. The house stood abandoned and eventually burned in 1961. The iron foundation continues to stand and appears as a hazard on NOAA charts. It is also a local fishing spot, known affectionately as The Bird Cage. This piece of apparel is part our Mississippi Landmarks & Parks Collection.
