DAMAGED BY CONFEDERATES IN THE WAR

THE WHITE EIGHTY-FIVE FOOT STRUCTURE WAS BUILT

HELPED VOYAGERS FIND THE MISSISSIPPI

USED TO COUNTERACT SPANISH INVASIONS

EGMONT FLASHES EVERY FIFTEEN SECONDS

VISIBLE FROM TWENTY-TWO MILES OUT

IN THE SHADOW OF FORT DE SOTO PARK

ITS FOGHORN WARNS VESSELS UNDER THE BRIDGE

STILL ACTIVE WITH FLASHING AEROBEACONS
