n a wind-swept bluff two miles north of the village of Mendocino on the rugged coast of Northern California, sits the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, a friendly sentinel for coastal mariners for over one hundred years. Its signature ten-second flash and once booming fog signal has provided a much needed navigational reference from the early days of the intrepid lumber schooners carrying redwood lumber for California’s expanding population in the early twentieth century, to today’s commercial and sport fishermen, to the huge container ships heading north to Portland and Puget Sound on the distant horizon. The Point Cabrillo Light Station has celebrated many milestones over the last twenty years: relighting of the beautifully restored Fresnel lens in August 1999; major awards from the governor for the restoration of the lightkeepers' houses in 2007; the centenary of the lighthouse in June 2009, and not least the new red roof on the Second Assistant Lightkeeper’s House last summer! This fall more exciting news was received at Point Cabrillo. Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association President Tanya Smart told volunteers, staff, and community supporters that the United States Coast Guard had decided after all to maintain the historic Fresnel lens at Point Cabrillo as the official federal Aid to Navigation [ATON for short] on our coast. The hundred-and-five-year-old lens will continue to burn brightly in the light tower guiding our local mariners, as it has done over all these years, even in this day of hi-tech aids such as radar and global positioning systems.

That Flashing Fresnel Lens When the light station was acquired by the state of California in 1992, the Fresnel lens and its ancillary equipment remained federal property and did not transfer to the state along with the buildings and land. At that time the lens was decommissioned and sitting under a canvas cover. Agreement was subsequently obtained from the Coast Guard to restore and activate the lens as the official federal aid to navigation. The restoration work was carried out over the winter of 1998/1999 largely by our volunteers under the supervision and with the assistance of Coast Guard ATON staff. The lens was reactivated in May 1999 and has been in continuous operation since that time, maintained by members of U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 87. In 2013 word had come from the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Center that as part of a general review of the continuance of certain aids to navigation, the light at Point Cabrillo was being considered for decommissioning. Decommissioning the light would have resulted in the Fresnel lens being re-designated as an artifact and coming under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office. The light would have been ABOVE: U.S. Coast Guard Color Guard at the Point Cabrillo Light Station centennial celebration June darkened and under possible threat of being disassembled and removed from the 10, 2009.

The Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association quickly marshaled support at the local, Since 1909, A Beacon from the Shore state, and federal level with a view to negotiating with the Coast Guard and California State Parks to have the lens designated as a private aid to navigation. This approach The light station at Point Cabrillo was constructed in 1908/1909 following years of would ensure that the lens would continue to flash its signature light to local boaters canvassing by local shipowners, the lumber industry, and local politicians. The light and remain as a focal visitor attraction at the lighthouse for future generations. These was lit by the first head lightkeeper, Wilhelm Baumgartner, at midnight on June 9, negotiations were under way when word that the lens was to continue as the aid to 1909 witnessed by a gathering of local dignitaries and neighbors. The new light at last navigation was announced. At a meeting of the Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association filled in a long dark segment of the rugged Mendocino coast between Point Arena to the board addressed the community: “To everyone who helped make this happen, the south and Cape Mendocino eighty miles to the north and was greatly welcomed by be proud of what you helped accomplish. The Point Cabrillo lighthouse has been in lumber schooner captains, their crews, and the local community who often traveled by operation as a federal aid to navigation since 1909 and because of you, it will continue sea in those days. to light the way home.” The new light station comprised the octagonal light tower supporting the lantern room and its fine new third-order Fresnel lens shipped out from Chance Brothers and BELOW: Point Cabrillo Lighthouse with the schooner Lynx and U.S. Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat in the Company, near Birmingham, England.

The distinctive cream siding and red roof provided a prominent day mark for the passing shipping on the coast by day, while the powerful Fresnel lens flashed its distinctive ten- second characteristic at night. In times of thick fog the fog signal boomed out its unique warning to passing ships on the busy coastal sea-lanes of the day. Inland of the lighthouse stood the concrete oil house for storage of the fuels for the light and a wooden building known as the smithy containing a forge, blacksmiths shop, and carpenters’ work benches. Up the hill to the east stood three fine Craftsman- style lightkeepers' houses, the larger of the three with four bedrooms being the head lightkeeper's residence with the two smaller dwellings housing the assistant lightkeepers and their families. Behind the houses were three identical outbuildings each providing coal storage, a workshop for the lightkeepers, and room for garden tools and supplies. On a bluff to the south of the lighthouse stood the new barn building with ample space for the lightkeepers’ horses, wagons, and harness. Water was supplied from a new well, pump house, and water storage tank to the southeast on the light station grounds. Lighthouse – Continued on Page 5 Page 5 Real Estate Magazine December 19, 2014

Lighthouse – Continued from Page 4 or thirty years Point Cabrillo was home to an ever-changing succession of head lightkeepers, assistant lightkeepers and their families—Head Lightkeeper Baumgartner and his wife, the Scotts and their four children, the Millers, and Atkinsons; these are just a few. The lightkeepers were civilian employees of the United States Lighthouse Service under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and latterly part of the Department of Commerce in Washington, D.C. In 1939, as part of a Depression-era economy measure, the U.S. Lighthouse Service was merged into the U.S. Coast Guard. The day of the civilian lightkeepers drew to a close, many of them left the service and over time were replaced by Coast Guard petty officers, engineers, and seaman assigned to lighthouse duty. The Coast Guard lighthouse keepers also brought their families to Point Cabrillo and life continued much as it had done in the U.S. Lighthouse Service period but with greater emphasis on discipline and proper turnout. During the war years from 1942 to 1945 the light station was a base for the local coastal patrol and a navy radio lookout site for the coast. A lookout building was constructed on the bluff just northwest of the lighthouse and two tall radio masts set up. The coastal patrol squad was housed in a Quonset hut set up abutting the smithy, which served as the galley and mess hall for the navy men at Point Cabrillo. The post-war years saw an ever-changing Coast Guard rotation through the light station including several years under Head Lightkeeper Bill Owens, the last serving civilian lightkeeper from the U.S. Lighthouse Service days. In 1960 the station suffered damage following a huge storm with sixty–foot waves sweeping the bluffs and damaging the building and fog signal equipment. Automation Arrives at the Lighthouse By the late 1960s, there were signs that the light station was being prepared for automation. The fog signals were retired and the warning signals transferred to whistle buoys off Fort Bragg and Mendocino. The beautiful brasswork of the lens was painted over with gray paint to save on maintenance. It fell to Petty Officer Buck Taylor and his assistants to supervise installation of the new aeromarine beacon on a steel platform on the fog signal building roof to the west of the lantern tower. The classical Fresnel lens was finally shut down for the last time and covered by a canvas curtain to protect from the direct sunlight. The lightkeepers’ houses were vacated by the last Coast Guard families and boarded up ending sixty years of lightkeeping at Point Cabrillo With the station closed and the light automated, members of the local communities AT RIGHT: Point Cabrillo Lighthouse from the across the south cove with a heavy swell running. expressed concern over the possible future plans for the thirty acres of the light station and Photo Bruce Rogerson.

At about the same time plans were made public for much of the land surrounding the station in private ownership to be sold and developed for upscale homesites. The 1970s were a time of public concern for the preservation of open space for public use with the passing of the California Coastal Act of 1976 and creation LEFT: The 1909 British built third- of the California Coastal Commission and California State Coastal order Fresnel lens in the lantern Conservancy.

California State Coastal Conservancy between 1988 and 1992, plans were developed to restore the lens and light station buildings. The restoration of the lighthouse and lens began in 1998.

Photo by Bruce volunteers, contractors, and Coast Guard personnel, the newly restored Rogerson. Fresnel lens and lantern room were officially returned to active duty during Point Cabrillo’s ninetieth anniversary celebration. A condition of the lens restoration program approval by the Coast Guard was that there had to be a federal agency available to maintain the Fresnel lens at Point Cabrillo. This role was assumed by the local flotilla of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the [uniformed volunteer component] of the Coast Guard. Under the direction of Steve Nilson, Navigation Services Officer for the flotilla and property manager for Point Cabrillo Light Station, the Auxiliarists perform the essential maintenance on the lens and lantern room. Windows are washed every two weeks; the lens is taken out of service for one day each quarter for a full day of brass polishing; the ninety plus glass prisms are cleaned, the thousand-watt bulbs are checked along with the changer and drive mechanism for the lens. Over the past fifteen years the extensive work of restoration has continued. In 2001, the restoration of the lighthouse was completed returning the building to its former glory in the days of the U.S. Lighthouse Service with its red roof, cream-colored siding, and dark green trim topped by the brilliance of the classical third-order Fresnel lens flashing its friendly warning to local shipping. Today the building houses an extensive museum display telling the long history of the point from the Pomo people, the wreck of the Frolic, to the lighthouse families. The building also contains the lighthouse gift shop. sprucing up the residences By late 2003 the lightkeepers’ residences were showing their age and much in need of a major facelift. The First Assistant Lifghtkeeper’s House was tackled first and completed in late 2004. The building now contains a museum of lighthouse family life at Point Cabrillo in the early years of the twentieth century and on the upper floor meeting and office space for the nonprofit's operations The Head Lightkeeper’s House was next and after many months of very demanding and costly restoration, it was completed in the spring of 2006. In the fall of 2006, this building was furnished and opened first as a bed-and-breakfast inn, and more recently as a vacation rental. In conjunction with the restoration of the main dwellings, the three outbuildings were also restored, two as additional vacation rental rooms with handicapped access and amenities, and the third as the public restrooms for visitors. Most recently several years of work were completed on the Second Assistant Lightkeeper’s House including a newly painted red shingle roof thanks to hundreds of hours of volunteer labor. This property has now been added to the available vacation rental options at Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park. The summer of 2014 also saw the distinctive historic white picket fences replaced by new sparkling white fencing thanks to a recent grant obtained by California State Parks in partnership with the Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association.

The board, staff, and docents at Point Cabrillo Light Station are all volunteers A little before 6 a.m., my running lights twinkle in the water around me as who give their time in thousands of hours to run this wonderful state historic park. Point I chug from Noyo Harbor toward dark clouds in the west. Until I make two Cabrillo Light Station can always use more volunteers and can offer positions in the months of back payments, maintenance on my salmon boat will wait.

Rigged with the two rods I haven't sold to pay bills, I drift along with lines in the water for an hour, then break out a PB&J with coffee for my lunch. Before it's gone, I'm wrestling silver scaled salmon over the transom and take what each is worth from my outstanding bills: $120 here, $160 there. I bleed and gut each one before I pack them in ice. An hour later my muscles are warm despite the cool winds. A routine of feeling the tug on the line and pulling fish into the boat keeps pace for another hour, then I drift and mooch until the middle of the afternoon. I doze along, lulled by the motion of the ocean, when both reels sing as lines go out. $130, $150, I pull and crank salmon while the late afternoon light fades; I'm on a roll and I test my body's limits. The salmon stop feeding and the reels go silent. While stowing my gear, my wobbly legs fail me when a big wave drives me into the deck and I hit my head. Mother's voice wades into my dream, "It's time for bed, Davey." Too drowsy to make sense of what she said, my dreams jump to a scene where I'm swinging my arms, throwing salmon into the water, giving them life – until salt water sprays my face and I wake to night on the unlit boat. My head has a lump and I smear blood into my eyes as I stumble backward to the wheel- house where Point Cabrillo's light scans me every ten seconds. With my eyes on the darkness surrounding the brilliance, I find the starter key, but turn it the wrong way the first time. Everything is backward, yet my confusion becomes resolve as I throttle hard toward the welcoming beacon.
