From the coast trip last week..

The Coquille River Light was the last built on the Oregon coast, completed in 1896. The short 40 ft. tower and small Fourth Order lens served to guide ships across the treacherous bar at the entrance to the river. In those days, the river port of Bandon was a center for shipping the lumber of Oregon's rich forests.
