first......thanks for the birthday wishes. i appreciate them so much!................................................................................. "Point Wilson marks the west entrance into the Puget Sound. It is the turning point from the Strait of Juan de Fuca into Admiralty Inlet. Eventually, a light station was built at Point Wilson, two miles northwest of Port Townsend. The original light was a 46-foot frame tower rising from the keeper's dwelling with a fog signal building nearby. It first shown its light, a fixed white light with a red flash every 20 seconds, on December 15, 1879. The light could be seen for 13 miles. A rotating apparatus replaced the original light in 1894." thanks in advance for any comments! ENJOY.
