Point Wilson, Coastal navigation point in Port Townsend, United States.
Point Wilson extends half a mile into water at the junction of Admiralty Inlet and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, creating a critical maritime passage.
The United States Lighthouse Service constructed the current Point Wilson Lighthouse in 1913 to replace the original 1879 structure for maritime navigation safety.
The indigenous Chimakum and S'Klallam tribes named this location Kam-kam-ho and Kam-Kum, reflecting their deep connection to these coastal waters.
The lighthouse and surrounding grounds form part of Fort Worden Historical State Park, offering interpretive displays about maritime navigation and coastal ecology.
The meteorological station at Point Wilson collects data essential for maritime traffic navigating the sharp turn into Puget Sound's shipping channel.
