'''Pensacola Light''' is the official designation of the '''Pensacola Lighthouse''', located west of [[Fort Barrancas]] on the grounds of [[Naval Air Station Pensacola]].
  
 
The first Pensacola Light was the [[Wikipedia:lightship|lightship]] ''Aurora Borealis''. It was moved to Pensacola in [[1823]] from its previous post at the mouth of the Mississippi River after a lighthouse had been completed there. Because of frequent rough seas, the lightship had to be anchored inside the bay entrance, behind [[Santa Rosa Island]], and could not reliably be seen from ships outside the bay.
