A tower clinging to a rocky coast sends out a message that a nation, barely 100 years old, will keep ships safe during their perilous journey. Men, women, and children live there, seldom supplied and seldom recognized. They have dedicated their lives to the people who will become - The Californians.

Journey back in time to the 1880s. Spend a day on an isolated promitory with sweeping viewa of California Central Coast. Watch the great whales migrate so close you may hear their spouts.

The members of the association invite you to share our maritime heritage with your family.
