Crescent City, California Dating from 1856, Battery Point was one of the 8 original west coast
lights built in the Cape Cod style. Deactivated in 1953, the structure is located on
a small island, exposed to the elements. It has suffered extensive damage from the sea, including
an overwash by a tidal wave in 1964. Currently, the Del Norte County Historical Society maintains a Maritime Museum on the site.
