CA-54 Location: Point Cabrillo Light Station aka Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park, or Point Cabrillo Light House and Fog Signal Building, 13800 Point Cabrillo Drive, Mendocino, CA 95460, (707) 937-5804. Coordinates: dd Latitude: 39.20.965, dd longitude: -123.48.801 Significance: Point Cabrillo Light Station is one of the most complete light stations in the United States currently retaining twelve of the original fifteen buildings and structures. Historically it is significant because of its association with the development of California in that it made it safer to ship people, supplies and building materials up and down the coastline. Description: The Lighthouse station is located on Lighthouse road one half mile beyond Point Cabrillo Drive. The station consists of 12 of the original 15 buildings and structures, pedestrian and vehicular paving, fencing and windscreen planting. In addition to the lighthouse there are three historic lighthouse keeper residences one each for the head keeper, and first and second assistant keepers. The First Assistant Lightkeeper's home is now a museum that depicts what the home looked like in 1935 and is furnished with objects that would have been in use by the family at that time.

Lighthouse Society’s The Keeper’s Log – Summer 2007 <www.uslhs.org> Point Cabrillo Light Station, California By Bruce Rogerson and James Kimbrell n terms of age Point Cabrillo Light Station is a mere youngster, having first been lit in June 1909. However, the location I of the lighthouse on a fifty-foot bluff two miles north of Mendocino Village on the rugged coast of northern California is of great historic significance. Less than half a mile to the north lies Frolic Cove, the site of one of the most important ship wrecks on the Pacific Coast. Two miles to the south, at the mouth of Big River, is the site of the first lumber mill on the Mendocino Coast. Point Cabrillo is named for Juan Rodri- guez Cabrillo, the earliest European navigator and explorer to visit the Pacific Coast of Cali- fornia. One of his lieutenants is reported to have sailed this coast in 1542 and to have named Cape Mendocino after the Spanish Governor of New Spain or Mexico, Antonio de Mendoza. Early 19th Century Portuguese settlers and fishermen in nearby Fort Bragg, who claim Cabrillo as one their countrymen, may have given the name to the headland and subsequently to the Light Station.

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.
