Lots of questionable numbers on this one[edit]

There are a lot of data contradictions on this one, starting with the USCG page, which manages to contradict itself. I've essentially ignored the tabular data from that page. I also have no idea where the NPS page gets 117 ft as the focal plane height, since every chart I could find sets it at 105 ft. Mangoe (talk) 23:41, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, for whatever reason both the USCG and NPS sites give the location with relation to Grand Isle, Louisiana. In reality it's nowhere near: Grand Isle is a good ways east of the Isles Dernieres. Mangoe (talk) 03:35, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
