Marrowstone Point Light

Marrowstone Point Light stands at the northern tip of Marrowstone Island in Washington, overlooking Admiralty Inlet at the eastern entrance to Port Townsend Bay. First marked in 1888 by a lens lantern on a pole, the site gained a fog bell and keeper’s dwelling in 1896 for its first keeper, sea captain Osmond Hale Morgan and his family. In 1912 the light was moved to a small concrete structure, and in 1918 a cement fog-signal building with three large trumpets was added after mariners complained the bell was not always audible. The station’s grounds now serve the U.S. Geological Survey’s Marrowstone Marine Field Station.
