Frank's Island Light
The Frank's Island Light was an early lighthouse in Louisiana, marking the entrance channel to the Mississippi River from the delta. Conceived of as a grand monument, it suffered from construction issues and was eventually abandoned as the channel it marked was supplanted by other routes.
