Lighthouse History
Built: 1879 Type: Square tower between Office & Signal bldg Height: 30 Feet Status: Active Location: Hansville Lens: Fifth Order Fresnel / Present Fourth Order Fresnel Signal: Fog Bell / Replaced with a Daboll Trumpet Keepers: J.S Maggs Notes: Construction of the
lighthouse began in April 1879. The first light used was a kerosene lamp.
As 1879 drew to a close, the lens and a glass for the lantern had not arrived,
so the first lighthouse keeper, J.S. Maggs, a Seattle Dentists, hung a
canvas over the south window openings to break the wind and keep the Kerosene
lamp from blowing out.
