Old Point Loma Lighthouse, San Diego, California c. 1913 – image: 11.5 x 9.5
 
Lighted in 1855, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse at San Diego, California stood for thirty-six years as the United States highest light. So high, that it was often obscured by low clouds and fog. It was replaced in 1891 by a light near sea level that could be more easily seen by ships.
