Just fifty miles south of San Francisco stands Pigeon Point, one of California's tallest lighthouses.
Named for the infamous wreck of the Carrier Pigeon on her maiden voyage, it began operations in 1872 and has warned mariners away from the treacherous rocky shoals nearby for over 150 years. It has served as a home for many keepers and their families during its lifetime.
The vantage point is not only perfect for signaling ships at sea, but also gave Richard Fairchild, the second lighthouse keeper to serve at Pigeon Point, a view of a gunfight in 1875 that ended in the death of local wharf manager. Other memorable keepers include Henry Holbrook, who went on to become a private detective, and Jesse E. Mygrants, who was both the longest serving keeper at Pigeon Point - from 1924 to 1941 - and had the distinction of being kidnapped by rumrunners desperate for a ride to their rendezvous.
Today, the lighthouse serves as a historical landmark, whale watching point, and incredible stargazing spot.
