Ceremonial Lighting of Fresnal Lens @ Grays Harbor Lighthouse
Jun 30 @ 9:30 pm
Ceremonial Lighting of Fresnal Lens @ Grays Harbor Lighthouse | Westport | Washington | United States

The Fresnel lens, hand-crafted in France, was the chief aid to navigation off the coast of Grays Harbor from 1898 to 1992 when it was doused by a modern, automated light installed by the U.S. Coast Guard. The lens is still installed atop the lighthouse.

The short ceremony will commemorate the lighting of the Grays Harbor Lighthouse on June 30, 1898, and is intended to be a casual, “low key” chance for folks on the beach to rekindle their own memories of the landmark, according to John Shaw, executive director of the Westport-South Beach Historical Society.
