Off
in the distance is Destruction Island, with its lighthouse.
"Destruction
Island was first lit in 1891, and has been an important
aid to navigation for mariners transiting the Pacific coastline
for over one hundred years. The crews of early sailing vessels,
tug boats, log ships, fishing boats and pleasure craft have
all used lighthouse, both by day and night, to mark their
location and warn them of rocky dangers near shore. The
lens was replaced in 1995 by a modern, automated light."
