The Ship Shoal Light is a screw-pile lighthouse located in the Gulf of Mexico southwest of the Isles Dernieres (Last Island) off the coast of Louisiana. It is currently abandoned.
The light house is, by the 2020s known as the most endangered lighthouse on the Louisiana register of Historic places, and the town of Berwick has been trying to save it by relocating it.
