Description
This is a color image that was digitally altered to look more like a painting.
Located just south of the entrance to Coos Bay, the tremendous shipping traffic of lumber out of Coos Bay and North Bend required the establishment of a light, especially after the Umpqua River Lighthouse collapsed in 1861. The first Cape Arago Lighthouse was built in 1866 and then a second was built in 1908. This is the third lighthouse to occupy the same location. The first two fell victim to weather and erosion. The third was built of reinforced concrete in 1934, and today the U.S. Coast Guard maintains the 44-foot lighthouse. Before and shortly after the turn of the 20th century, there was a lifesaving station on one side of Lighthouse Island and the light keepers often alerted the surf men when ships were in trouble.
