North Head Lighthouse at Ilwaco, Washington
Posted by Images by KC Photography (Redmond, United States) on 16 April 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Ships approaching the treacherous mouth of the Columbia River were not able to see the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse in time to stay clear of the rocky coast and currents.. After many costly wreaks, the Lighthouse Service, in 1898, built a 65-foot tall conical tower facing the ocean north of the cape. Its light is 194 feet above the water, visible 20 miles out.
This beautiful Lighthouse is still in service (automated) and open for visitors.
