The light station at Point Cabrillo, California:

Point Cabrillo is named after the Spanish explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, although Cabrillo's voyage of exploration along the California coast did not reach as far north as the point. 

Point Cabrillo Lighthouse was established in 1909, displaying a 3rd Order Standard Lens and Air Sirens. It is located about 1.5 miles from Fort Bragg, California. With the exception of a small barn all original buildings stand unaltered. In 1935, an air diaphone supertyfone sound signal was installed. The United States Coast Guard manned the station until 1973, when the lens was covered and a modern rotating beacon was mounted on a metal stand on the roof west of the lantern room.

The Frolic, an opium trading brig wrecked near Point Cabrillo Light in 1850. The wreckage was rediscovered in 1984.
