Taken from the New Orleans Algiers ferry on the Mississippi River (5 years and 2484 days ago)

In 1865, the lighthouse came under the direction of the Marine Department and, from 1888, lighthouse keepers became responsible for signalling the state of the tides using a flagstaff. The Boulder Bank lighthouse remained a manned light until 5 December 1915, when one of the earliest automatic lights was installed. The lighthouse keepers left in 1916.

The lighthouse is an octagonal tapering cast iron tower 18.3 metres high. It is painted white so that it is visible by day. The copper dome roof of the tower is capped by a weathervane. Small windows light the internal rooms on four floors linked by staircases. The lantern mechanism is still present and can be used to supplement other harbour lights when required.
