New Canal Light Photograph by Lowell Thomas The lighthouse at the head of the New Basin Canal is the location of the Coast Guard station that monitors boating activity in Lake Pontchartrain. The New Basin Canal was built by Irish and German immigrants to the city back in the 1830s as a link between the city and the lake. The canal's path followed what are now the Pontchatrain Expressway and West End Blvd. That massive neutral ground that separates West End Blvd. from Pontchartrain Blvd. is the filled-in New Basin Canal. Built in the 1890s, the lighthouse has been a lakefront landmark for years, guiding boats in and out of the Orleans Marina and the Municipal Yacht Harbor. The Coast Guard moved their lakefront station here from over by Spanish Fort in the 60s. The wooden building at Spanish Fort was falling apart, and had sustained a good bit of damage from hurricanes, so it was time to move down Lakeshore drive a bit. The New Canal Lighthouse was placed on the National register of Historic Places on December 30, 1985, by the National Park Service. This is the last light in use that has the light tower on the top of the keeper's dwelling. The "New Canal," a 7 mile long canal to connect the Mississippi with Lake Pontchartrain, was begun in the early 1830s. It was never completed; however, the end at the lake became a small harbor. In 1834, $25,000 was raised to build a lighthouse to mark the entrance to the harbor. It began operating in 1838. The light was listed as unrepairable in 1854. It was rebuilt as a fifth order light on the keeper's dwelling in 1855 at a cost of $6,000. The lantern showed a fixed white light with 9 lamps 33 feet above sea level. On February 25, 1890, it was discontinued. The next day it was sold at auction and torn down. A lantern hung from a pole in its place.

8. Lighthouses, Lightships, And The Gulf Of Mexico David Cipra was well known by most members of the lighthouse community as the foremostexpert on gulf coast lighthouses. He joined the us coast Guard in 1966 http://users.sitestar.net/~cypress/gulf.htm

Lighthouses, Lightships, and the Gulf of Mexico Special Web Price: $19.95 (20% off list price) Soon after the Louisiana Purchase, lighthouses were planned and their construction begun along the Gulf Coast to support a burgeoning seaborne commerce. Shifting bars and bayous, soft and muddy bottoms, coral reefs, and periodic hurricanes challenged the skills of the lighthouse designers and builders, as well as the men and women appointed to keep the lights. Over time, because of the numerous natural hazards, often two, sometimes three or even four replacement towers were built at the same station. Lighthouses on the Gulf Coast were challenged, not only by forces of nature, but also by historical events, especially the Civil War. Extinguished as aids to navigation, lighthouses became Confederate lookout posts and Union targets during this period, some were even bombarded. After the war, materials such as cast iron and new technology such as skeletal towers permitted the construction of towers more suited to the Gulf shore's terrain. According to U.S. Coast Guard Chief Historian Robert M. Browning
