The Morris Island Rear Range Lighthouse, built in 1893, was discontinued in May of 1899. A series of range lights were first established in conjunction with the main light to the eastward and southward of it to guide vessels through the ship channel. These lights were destroyed during the Civil War and new lights were built to replace them, but they were built further to the south and west to guide vessels through the new ship channel. None of the range lights exist today.
