Trinidad Memorial Light, Trinidad, California ~ This light was built in 1949 as a memorial to sailors lost at sea; their names are shown at the site. It is a replica of the active Trinidad Head Light, which was built in 1879. The original fog bell from the Trinidad Head Light is hung beside the tower, and is rung at noon every day
~ This lighthouse was built in 1855, and is now surrounded by a golf course. It is not uncommon to see deer grazing on the grass and among the cypresses. Incidentally, I got yelled at by some golfers, trying to get this shot!
~ This was the first Cape Cod style lighthouse built in California, in 1855. It was high on a hill, and thought to be an ideal site, but was so often obscured by low cloud banks and fog, it was replaced by the "new" Point Loma Lighthouse, down nearer the sea, in 1891.
