Coquille River Light

The Coquille River light was commissioned in 1895 at the mouth of the Coquille River.  It was in continuous operation until 1939, when it was replaced by an automated light on the South Jetty.  The original light had a Daboll trumpet as a foghorn (it appears in the photo below).  That was replaced in 1910, so it doesn’t appear in the more recent photo below.
