William S Phillips
Guardian at the Gate |
Point
Bonita Light, at the North West entrance to the San Francisco Bay was the
second lighthouse at Point Bonita. The first light was atop the narrow
headlands and shone forth at 306 feet above the roaring breakers of the
Pacific. The only problem was that it was so high that most of the time it
was obscured by fog.
In 1877 the Point Bonita light was relocated, with great effort, to the thin
strip of rock called Lands End where it stands today as a guardian at the
Gate. A welcome sight to those entering the San Francisco Bay from
around the globe.
