Southampton Shoal Light, Maritime navigation station in San Francisco Bay, US
The Southampton Shoal Light stands on a platform at the southwest edge of Southampton Shoals, northeast of Angel Island in San Francisco Bay.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1905 with eleven steel cylinder pilings supporting a wooden structure that functioned as a floating house.
The building earned its name 'House on the Bay' from local maritime communities due to its residential design with balconies and multi-story layout.
The former lighthouse structure now serves as a private accommodation for St Francis Yacht Club members on Tinsley Island in the San Joaquin River Delta.
A 3,500-pound brass fog bell operated from the upper floor of the structure until its replacement with an electric horn system.
