 | Sue reads an interpretive marker for the Browns Point Lighthouse. It starts out: "The United States Lighthouse Service hung an acetylene, white light, lens lantern from a post on this site December 12, 1887. A light keeper rowed out to Browns Point from Tacoma once a week to change the wick and clean and polish the lantern. The light guided ships and boats coming into Commencement Bay until the two-story wood frame lighthouse was built in 1903. The first light keeper Oscar Brown began his first day of duty on October 26, 1903." |
