Point Blunt Light, Maritime navigation point in San Francisco Bay, California, US
Point Blunt Light stands on the southeast corner of Angel Island, featuring a concrete signal building with a focal plane elevation of 60 feet.
The lighthouse began operations in 1915 to improve navigation routes in San Francisco Bay, marking a period of maritime infrastructure development in California.
The lighthouse represents the final manned navigation station constructed in California, reflecting the transformation of coastal maritime operations in the region.
The lighthouse remains operational and automated since 1976, guiding vessels through San Francisco Bay with a light that flashes every five seconds.
Four family units with three bedrooms each were built at the station to accommodate Coast Guard personnel who operated direction finder calibration services.
