Lighthouses of Oregon: A History of Aiding Maritime Navigation
This documentary tells the story of Oregon's lighthouses. Today there are 11 still standing, with some that have been lost. These lifesaving structures helped Oregon grow in the early days of the state. Some still run today and some are just monuments enjoyed by visitors. I hope you enjoy this movie that tells an important part of Oregon's history.
This project took me about half a year. A lot of work went into gathering and organizing the information. Visiting the lighthouses was a fun task which I revisited a few. My favorite moment was the first nighttime experience, at Cape Blanco. I snuck away from a sleeping family at camp for an hour. The lone tower was standing tall in heavy wind, with the powerful spinning light. After starting the project and learning about lighthouses, seeing the light just blew me away. I highly recommend watching a lighthouse at night. Heceta and Blanco are the best ones to do that.
The lighthouses appear in order of completion date: Umpqua River, Cape Arago, Cape Blanco, Yaquina Bay, Yaquina Head, Tillamook Rock, Cape Meares, Heceta Head, Coquille River, Cleft of the Rock, Pelican Bay.
A few others get honorable mention: Cape Disappointment, Point Adams, Desdemona Sands, Columbia River Lightship, St George Reef.
