Point Pinos Lighthouse (Oldest Continuously Operating Lighthouse on the West Coast), Pacific Grove, California

Point Pinos Lighthouse, established in 1855, is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States. Its establishment was crucial in ensuring the safety of ships navigating the treacherous waters of the Pacific Ocean. Over the years, the lighthouse has witnessed numerous maritime events and played a key role in guiding countless vessels to safety. Its legacy as a beacon of light has made it an iconic landmark in the maritime history of the region.

The Point Pinos Lighthouse boasts a distinct architectural style that reflects the prevailing trends of the mid-19th century. Its Cape Cod design, characterized by its simple elegance and white clapboard exterior, stands as a testament to the period's architectural prowess. Moreover, the lighthouse's engineering features are equally impressive. The strategic placement of the light atop the tower, coupled with its powerful beam, enabled it to effectively guide ships during both day and night.

As a navigation aid for ships along the Pacific coast, Point Pinos Lighthouse played a crucial role in guiding vessels through the treacherous waters of Monterey Bay. Its position near the entrance of the bay made it an indispensable resource for mariners seeking safe passage. The lighthouse's beam, which could be seen from miles away, was a beacon of hope for sailors who relied on its guiding light to chart their course and avoid perilous obstacles.

Museum-Quality: TruLife® Acrylic Face Mount Print - Ready To Hang

Museum-Quality: TruLife® Acrylic Face Mount Print - Ready To Hang

The most luxurious of fine art prints, TruLife® Acrylic face mount prints have a 3d-like appearance due to the print being sandwiched between museum-quality acrylic and a solid backer medium. The paper is specifically made for face mounted prints and features a pearl-like luminescence. When light hits the acrylic, it refracts through the artwork and gives off an appearance of having been illuminated from within. These are the most vibrant and detailed prints I offer. Acrylic prints are best suited for hanging in homes.
