Louisiana's 10 Most endangered Places The Sabine Pass Lighthouse has been listed in the Louisiana Preservation Alliance's list of historical sites that are in danger of being lost. This distinction brings attention to places that have been 'forgotten' and/or in desperate need of being protected. This is a bitter-sweet recognition for the Lighthouse but will hopefully raise awareness of her plight. Sabine Bank Lighthouse Dismantled In March of 2002, the US Coast Guard ordered this lighthouse dismantled. The Ashton Salvage Company donated the lantern room and top section of this Lighthouse to the Cameron Preservation Alliance. It was voted by the Board of Directors to donate it to the Sabine Pass Lions Club. This historical artifact will be restored and placed as a public land mark in Sabine Park in Sabine Pass, Texas.
