Question

What is the history behind Piegon Point Lighthouse?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Pigeon Point Light was named for the clipper ship Carrier Pigeon, which sank off the nearby point of land in 1853. After three more ships were lost in the same area, Congress approved construction of a lighthouse at Pigeon Point, at the cost of $90,000 (which would be well over $2 million today).
