Scope and content
- The 93 foot tower of the Yaquina Lighthouse is located on a narrow point of land jutting due west into the Pacific Ocean north of Newport, at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Built in 1872, it has been lit since 1873--although the original wicks have been replaced with a 1,000 watt globe. It took approximately one year, and over 370,000 bricks to construct Oregon's tallest lighthouse. Just south of the lighthouse are tide pools where seaweeds, sea stars, hermit crabs, purple urchins, and anemones can be seen. circa 1937.
