Trinidad Bay and Light House

Trinidad's  Memorial Park Lighthouse.

This is an accurate replica of the

original historic lighthouse 

built in 1871 that is still operating. 

The view  here is looking South

from the rugged, rocky bluff

overlooking Trinidad Bay.

(Northern CA Coast)

Now the four photos below

have been taken from the same

location.  Pretend you are facing South,

and then scan the horizon

 looking left to right...

South to West if you will.

 Beautiful eh?

That's the Trinidad pier in the

above photo.  

Beyond the pier is Trinidad Head,

which hides the actual Trinidad Lighthouse

on the other side.

The Coast Guard

replaced this original fog bell,

with modern counterparts

 out at the Trinidad Head Lighthouse. 

 They also replaced the Fresnel lens 

 from the lighthouse in 1947

  and donated both to the Trinidad Civic Club

for display in the Memorial Park.  

Not shown in these photos

 are the memorial plaques

dedicated to the fishermen

 who lost their lives at sea. 

It's a very somber memorial.

But oh so beautiful.

 

We love Trinidad

I have quite a bit more

to share from this special place.
