Turn Point Light Turn Point Light. Located on Stuart Island, San Juan Islands, Washington. Established in 1893. Photographed in September 1995 by friends of ours, Roz and Lynn Vancil. This one's only accessible by boat.
Research finds an interesting story of the tug Enterprise which ran aground near the light.
Turn Point's keeper, Edward Durgan, and his assistant Peter Christiansen saved the drunken crewmen aboard the tug and then later saved the crew aboard the runaway barge the tug had been towing. Not a very pretty structure but the surrounding area helps to make this photo quite stunning. Thank you Roz and Lynn for sharing this with us.
