The post office will again feature a series of five lighthouse postage stamps, this time with Gulf Coast Lighthouses. The five lighthouses featured are: Matagorda Island, Texas; Sabine Pass, La.; Biloxi, Miss., Sand Island, near the entrance to Mobile Bay, Ala., and Fort Jefferson, also known as Garden Key Lighthouse, 50 miles west of Key West, Fla.

From the USPS Press Release:

The popular lighthouse stamps series continues to shine with the issuance of Gulf Coast Lighthouses next summer. Featuring paintings by artist Howard Koslow of Toms River, NJ, the five stamps depict the lighthouses of Matagorda Island, near Port O’Connor, TX; Sabine Pass, near Sabine Pass, LA; Biloxi, in Biloxi, MS; Sand Island, near the entrance to Mobile Bay in Mobile, AL; and, Fort Jefferson (also known as Garden Key Lighthouse), 50 miles west of Key West, FL, in Dry Tortugas Park.

Known as “hurricane alley,” the Gulf Coast weathers many powerful storms each year, including Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the region in 2005. In addition, the land along the coast is swampy and marshy in many places and given to erosion, making it doubly difficult for lighthouses to withstand heavy rains and winds. The five lighthouses featured on the stamps are some of the few that remain standing.


First Day of Issue will be in mid-summer at Biloxi, MS.


Okay... It's not Lighthouses of the United States
but we felt it worthy of posting.

"Bodie Island Lighthouse"
I recently returned from a three-week housesitting "job" for some friends in the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina. While there, I volunteered to "work" at Bodie Island Lighthouse keeping the tower open for visitors to view and to answer questions about the lighthouse.  I had an absolutely wonderful time, met some great people and fell in love with Bodie Island Lighthouse. 

Although not open for climbing, one can only imagine the spectacular view from the top because of the beautiful setting that surrounds the tower.  The grounds are owned by the National Park Service while the tower itself is still maintained by the Coast Guard.  It is my hope that when ownership is transferred to the Park Service, the tower will be restored and open for climbing the 214 stairs to the top.  I know I will be one of the first to volunteer to make this happen! 

I love lighthouses and have visited many in Maine, Michigan and other places, but I believe my heart belongs in the Outer Banks at Bodie Island.
