The Key West lighthouse is located in Key West Florida. The first Key West lighthouse was a 65-foot (20 m) tower completed in 1825. It had 15 lamps in 15-inch (380 mm) reflectors. The first keeper Michael Mabrity died in 1832 and his widow Barbara became the lighthouse keeper serving for 32 years. The Great Havana Hurricane of 1846 destroyed the lighthouse; the USS Morris which was wrecked during the storm reported a white sand beach covers the spot where Key West Lighthouse stood.
