More about the Point Sur Lighthouse
The Point Sur light must have been one of the loneliest places in California when it was
built in 1899. Situated on a steep sandstone island overlooking the Pacific, one of its
most famous incidents didn't involve a ship at all. In 1935 the military airship the USS
Macon, longer than 3 Boeing 747s parked end-to-end, crashed just off the coast.
