Couple shares tower’s story with Biloxi visitors
Brian, right, tells Rick Moore of Biloxi about the fifth-order Fresnel lens that illuminates the Biloxi Lighthouse. The structure, finished in 1847, was the first cast-iron tower in the South and the only lighthouse to stand in the middle of a four-lane highway. The lighthouse, the city's signature landmark, has become a post-Katrina symbol of the city’s resolve and resilience after Hurricane Katrina devastated the area almost five years ago.
