Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The Point Montara lighthouse in Montara, approximately 40.23 km (25 mi) south of San Francisco.
The lighthouse is open to the public, and is the site of a youth hostel sponsored by Hostelling International USA. This lighthouse station was established in February 1875. It originally had a kerosene lantern, but was upgraded in 1912 to a fourth order Fresnel lens. The current tower was first erected in 1881 in Wellfleet, Massachusetts as the Mayo Beach Lighthouse. In 1925, the cast iron tower from the discontinued Mayo Beach Light was disassembled and moved to Yerba Buena. It was moved again and rebuilt as the Point Montara Lighthouse in 1928, where it stands today. The lens was transferred to the San Mateo Historical Society when the lighthouse was automated in 1970, and is currently on display at the library at the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, California. Another lighthouse for my book. www.blurb.com/b/6537099-eastern-canadian-lighthouses-and-... |
