LIGHTHOUSE, PENSACOLA, FLORIDA Miruela sailed into what is Pensacola Bay in 1516, just twenty-four years after Columbus discovered America, and one hundred and four years before the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. Under five flags has this little city lived and seventeen times has her government changed. Today Pensacola stands a part of all that has gone before.
