Notes:
Before the installation of lighthouses on the Pacific coast, many ships and seamen went to their graves on its rocky schoals. Shipmasters deplored this dangerous stretch of coastal water. On May 1, 1926 their petitions were answered when the U.S. Lighthouse Service began the operation of Point Vicente Lighthouse. The 1000 watt bulb, focused through a five foot lens, could be seen over twenty miles.
