EDITORS COMMENTS
Yerba Buena Island Lighthouse: A Beacon of Safety in San Francisco Bay, Circa 1910 Nestled in the heart of San Francisco Bay, Yerba Buena Island has long been a sentinel guarding the entrance to one of the busiest and most iconic waterways in the United States. In this photograph, taken circa 1910, the island's lighthouse stands proudly, its beacon casting a reassuring glow over the surrounding waters. Yerba Buena Island, a man-made island, was created in the late 19th century to provide a site for the California State Fair and later served as a quarantine station for immigrants arriving by sea. The lighthouse, built in 1874, was an essential addition to the island, guiding mariners through the treacherous waters of the bay, particularly during the dense fog that often envelops the area. The lighthouse, with its distinctive red and white stripes, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early settlers in California. Its powerful light, visible for miles, has been a beacon of safety and security for over a century. In this photograph, we can see the lighthouse's intricate details, from the ornate ironwork to the intricately designed lantern room. The San Francisco Bay, with its unique blend of natural beauty and industrial might, has long been a symbol of the American spirit. This photograph captures the essence of that spirit, showcasing the resilience and determination of those who have called this magnificent bay home. The Yerba Buena Island Lighthouse, with its unwavering presence, stands as a reminder of the past and a promise for the future.
