Marrowstone Point Light, Maritime navigation aid at Marrowstone Island, Jefferson County, United States
The lighthouse stands 28 feet tall on a sandy shoal at the northeast end of Marrowstone Island, marking the entrance to Port Townsend Bay.
The site began operations in 1888 with a simple lens lantern on a pole, followed by the installation of a 1,200-pound fog bell in 1896.
The lighthouse keeper Osmond Hale Morgan and his family provided shelter and assistance to passengers from vessels in distress during dangerous weather conditions.
Visitors can observe the lighthouse exterior from Fort Flagler State Park beach, while the facility operates as a marine research station.
The 1914 installation of an acetylene gun for fog signaling marked the first application of this technology at any United States lighthouse.
