Willamette River Light, Historical lighthouse at confluence of Willamette and Columbia Rivers, Portland, US.
The wooden octagonal lighthouse stood 23 feet above water level and featured a fixed red light with a 1,200-pound fog bell for navigation assistance.
Built in 1895 with a budget of 6,000 dollars, the lighthouse operated continuously until 1935 when automation replaced the need for human keepers.
The lighthouse marked the maritime development of Portland, supporting river trade and navigation during the industrial growth of the Pacific Northwest.
Current visitors to Kelley Point Park can observe wooden pilings at coordinates 45.65301°N, -122.763°W, marking the former lighthouse location.
The structure met its end through fire in 1955, leaving only fragments visible above water as remnants of this maritime navigation point.
