Contents.Geography The first to record Point Arena was in 1543, who named it Cabo de Fortunas (Spanish for 'cape of fortunes'). The cape was renamed to Punta Delgado (narrow point) in 1775 by (commander of the Sonora), part of a by the to map the north coast of.

This sandbar creates a natural hazard to navigation, and hence the need for a lighthouse and here.The first lighthouse. Engineering drawing of Point Arena LighthouseThe contracted with a based company to build a new lighthouse on the site, and specified that it had to be able to withstand any future earthquakes. The company chosen normally built factory smokestacks, which accounts for the final design for the new Point Arena Lighthouse, featuring steel reinforcement rods encased in concrete. This was the first lighthouse built this way.The new lighthouse began operation in 1908, nearly 18 months after the quake. It stands 115 feet (35 m) tall, and featured a 1st Order, over six feet in diameter and weighing more than six tons. The lens was made up of 666 hand-ground glass all focused toward three sets of double bullseyes. It was these bullseyes that gave the Point Arena Lighthouse its unique 'light signature' of two flashes every six seconds.
The optics, which held an appraised value of over $3.5 million, was set in solid framework, and was built in. Engineering drawing of device used to turn lighthouse beacon at Point Arena LighthousePrior to the introduction of, the lens was rotated by a clockwork mechanism. The Keepers, or 'wickies' as they were called, had to hand crank a 160-pound weight up the center shaft of the lighthouse every 75 minutes to keep the lens turning. Light was produced by a 'Funck' hydraulic oil lamp, that needed to be refueled every four hours, and whose wicks would have to be trimmed regularly. Later, two 1,000 electric lamps were installed to replace the oil lamp, and a 1⁄ 8 electric motor was installed to replace the clockworks.Modernization. The lighthouse as it appears todayIn 1978, the original fog signal at the station was silenced, and a bell was placed nearby.
June 1977 brought the installation of an automated aircraft-type beacon on the balcony tower, and the historic 1st Order Fresnel Lens was discontinued. At the time, the lens was the only -floated light still in existence in the Twelfth District. The 400-pound aircraft beacon had been replaced by a 40-pound modern rotating light that incorporates the Fresnel principles for the efficient projection of light.Reliability There is a emergency system installed as a back-up in the event of a power failure. In addition, a beacon, with a 50-mile (80 km) signal that originates from the station, also assists mariners. The original oil lamp was visible for approximately 18 miles (29 km), the 1st Order Fresnel Lens for 20 miles (32 km) and the current modern rotating light can be seen for 16 miles (26 km).Manning Four men manned this family station and were provided with quarters as follows: One 4 bedroom unit, three 3-bedroom units. Other buildings are the light tower, paint locker, fuel locker, bosun locker and buildings housing the fire pump, water pumps and fueling pumps. The station had a ½-ton assigned which, among other things, was utilized to transport dependent school children to school three miles (5 km) from the station.Today In 1984, a nonprofit organization called the Point Arena Lighthouse Keepers acquired the light station as part of a 25-year land lease from the Coast Guard and the.
In November 2000, the nonprofit group became the official owners of the property due to their diligent historic preservation and educational efforts. Daily visitation, gift store sales, memberships and the rental of the historic Keeper's homes on the property as vacation houses, all provide income to the group, for ongoing preservation, facility upgrades, and educational endeavors.The Point Arena Light is No. The Fresnel lens seen in the museum in this 2012 photoTrivia The final scenes of the movie (1992, starring ) were filmed near the lighthouse. The lighthouse also appears in the 2014 movie, as the finishing point of the De Leon underground race which forms the climax of the film.Marine Protected Areas The are two that extend offshore from Point Arena.
