The Cape Flattery Light is a historic lighthouse structure located at the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Neah Bay, Clallam County, in the U.S. state of Washington, within the Makah Indian Reservation.
In September 2009, a three-phase clean-up of Cape Flattery was completed by the Coast Guard. A thirty-foot skeletal light tower topped by a solar-powered LED light was installed on the island in 2008, allowing old generators and fuel tanks to be removed. The decommissioned Cape Flattery Lighthouse has been turned over to the Makah Indian Tribe, who controls the island.
My grandparents came from Texas in 1914 to be lightkeepers at Tatoosh. Two graves on the Island. One is their first child Francis S. Tisdale. Love your picture, a treasure for me.
OH wow! I was reading about the hard lifestyle of the original lightkeepers. They had a lot of perseverance!
A great setting.
