Sand Island Lighthouse, the 135-year-old tower at the entrance of Mobile Bay, will be featured on a U.S. Postal Service stamp this year. It’s one of five Gulf Coast lighthouses selected for a commemorative collection slated to be released in the summer. Paintings of lighthouses in Matagorda Island, Texas; Sabine Pass, La.; Biloxi, Miss.; and Fort Jefferson, Fla. will also be part of the 42-cent stamp collection. www.usps.com
