ocean
rocks and the Point B
on
ita Lighthouse which is located just north - west of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, California. Point B
on
ita was the site of the first fog signal
on
the
Pacific
coast
. The fog signal, which went into service
on
August 8, 1855, was an army surplus cann
on
fired every half hour in foggy weather. Point B
on
ita was the third lighthouse built in the San Francisco Bay area (in 1855) and was unique. The original tower, built separate from the residence, provided a l
on
ely existence for the initial light keepers. There were no inhabitants for five miles and no direct communicati
on
. It was so inhospitable that seven keepers were employed within the first nine m
on
ths of the operati
on
of the light. Point B
on
ita was the last manned lighthouse
on
the California
coast
. The last keeper left in April 1981. It is now a part of the Golden Gate Nati
on
al Recreati
on
Area and is run by the Nati
on
al Park Service. The
Coast
Guard c
on
tinues to maintain the light and fog signal.
