Point Fermin Light: 51 x 30, Original Oil on Canvas
San Pedro, California
Point Fermin is a charming Italieanete Victorian structure built
in 1874 with lumber shipped
around Cape Horn. Originally fitted with a 2000-candle fourth order
Fresnel lens,
Point Fermin guided ships into San Pedro harbor and the port of
Los Angeles. The light has
been inactive since 1941, when all west coast lights were darkened
during the war. Today,
the structure is beautifully restored and is the centerpiece of
Pt. Fermin Park., which is the
southernmost point in Los Angeles.
