Coquille River, Oregon

Harbour Lights GLOW Edition #427

Toward the latter part of the nineteenth century, Oregon's lumber industry was in full swing. Numerous vessels founder on the bar near the Coquille River entrance and officials placed a stucco brick lighthouse near the entrance. This lighthouse provided refuge to residents when a fire destroyed the town of Bandon.
