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.

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.

The Louisiana State Legislature petitioned the U.S. Congress for a light to be erected on this hazard in 1848, but instead of a fixed tower, a lightship was provided instead.

[4] Pleasonton's tenure was then drawing to a close, and when the Lighthouse Board was formed in 1852, they requested funding for an iron tower to replace the lightship.

[4][5] The beacon was automated in 1929 and discontinued in 1965,[2] and the tower abandoned, though quick flashing lights were set on the structure to warn of the obstruction.
