- Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
- CAB_180717_010.JPG: Landing of Cabrillo:
On September 28, 1542, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo and his crew sailed into this harbor and became the first Europeans to set foot on what would later become the west coast of the United States. The exact landing area is not known, but many believe that Cabrillo came ashore on Ballast Point, the small finger of land below you.
- CAB_180717_018.JPG: Ships of the Pacific Fleet:
San Diego, headquarters of the Eleventh Naval District, is one of the largest and busiest US Navy ports in the world. Many of the Pacific Fleet's cruisers, destroyers, and amphibious ships are stationed here. You can see many of the vessels shown on the right as they enter and leave the harbor. The U.S. Coast Guard, as an element of the Department of Homeland Security, conducts extensive operations out of San Diego.
- CAB_180717_025.JPG: Aircraft of the Pacific
Across the channel and to your left is North Island Naval Air Station. From her you can watch many of the aircraft of the U.S> Navy's Pacific Fleet, as well as other branches of the Armed Forces and the U.S. Coast Guard, as they take off and land. The photos to you r right will help to identify some of the aircraft commonly seen.
- CAB_180717_029.JPG: Harbor and City
When Cabrillo entered this harbor in 1542, only a few native villages bordered the bay. Today about 3-1/2 million people live in the San Diego metropolitan area.
The key to the city's vitality is its close association with the sea. The large natural harbor is headquarters for part of the navy's Pacific Fleet, and many shore-based naval facilities are nearby. Fishing and shipbuilding are major industries, and San Diego's colleges and universities offer specialized study in oceanography and marine biology.

- CAB_180717_101.JPG: Cabrillo's Ships
The first three sailing vessels to enter San Diego Bay came from the direction you are facing. They were the San Salvador, the Victoria and the San Miguel - Spanish vessels commanded by Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo. The San Salvador, a galleon, was about 100 feet (30 meters) long and weighed about 200 tons. The Victoria was a caravel, a smaller ship built for sailing in coastal waters. The bergantin San Miguel, with sails and oars, was used mainly for ferrying men to and from shore and for servicing the larger ships.
The three ships were built on the west coast of Guatemala, mostly with native materials and labor. The San Salvador and the Victoria each could accommodate a crew of 60 – 100 men with enough supplies for three years of exploration.
- CAB_180717_118.JPG: Harbor Lights
No lighthouse kept vigil over the harbor four centuries ago when Cabrillo sailed into the bay. There were no channel buoys, fog horns, or local charts to guide mariners safely to anchor. Today, however, the Coast Guard and Port of San Diego provide a full range of navigational aids for the many military, commercial, and privately owned vessels that use the harbor.
The new Point Loma Lighthouse built in 1891 stands down near the coast on the tip of the peninsula. It replaced the original 1855 lighthouse on the hill to your right. The modernized structure sends out a brilliant white beam that flashes every 15 seconds, and is equipped with a powerful foghorn that can be heard by ships up to 3 miles out (4.8km). You can get a good view of the lighthouse from the whale overlook.
The Zuniga Jetty, a submerged stone wall built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1904, protects the far side of the channel from currents and sediment deposits. A series of quick flashing white lights mark the mile long jetty. A horn attached to the end of the jetty can be heard sounding a one-second blast every ten seconds.
- CAB_180717_121.JPG: Army Radio Station:
The United States Army constructed this building in 1918 to serve as its first radio station for harbor defenses in San Diego. Since then, it has had many other uses.
During World War II, the building housed a meteorological station to support coastal artillery. Wind speed and direction, air pressure, and other variables that affect the range and accuracy of artillery fire were measured and sent to artillery officers from here.
When the National Park Service reopened Cabrillo National Monument after the war, the station became the monument's headquarters ,and then a storage building when the current Visitor Center/Headquarters complex opened in 1966. Today the station houses a permanent exhibit about San Diego's WWII harbor defenses.
Inside the reinforced concrete walls of the radio station, the army housed a one-kilowatt radio set, batteries, a motor-generator, and a sleeping room for the soldiers, allowing the station to be staffed around the clock.

- CAB_180717_253.JPG: Old Point Loma Lighthouse
This lighthouse built in 1854, was one of the first eight lighthouses on the Pacific Coast. It continued in use until 1891, when the new Pelican Point Lighthouse began operating. The Point Loma Lighthouse became the site of the Cabrillo National Monument in 1913. During World War II the Navy used it as a signal tower. Restored by the National Park Service in 1984, it remains as a reminder of contribution of 19th Century Lighthouse Keepers and their families to California's maritime past.
- CAB_180717_258.JPG: Point Loma Lighthouse (1855-1891):
San Diego's first lighthouse guided ships along the coast and marked the entrance to the harbor for over 30 years. A captain reported seeing the light from as far as 39 miles (63km). For many years, it was the highest coastal light in the country -- over 400 feet above sea level (120m) -- so high that fog and low clouds often made it difficult to see. A new lighthouse was built at a lower elevation in 1891.
The primary duty of the lightkeeper and his assistant was to keep the lantern burning brightly and steadily from sundown to sunup. They polished the lens, trimmed the wicks, refuelled the lamp, and kept the plate glass windows and metalwork of the lantern spotless.
- CAB_180717_262.JPG: Point Loma -- The Early Years:
The old lighthouse you are approaching protected sailors off the San Diego Coast for 36 years, from 1855 to 1891. It was a lonely outpost on a barren headland. In January 2004, the National Park Service completed restoration of the grounds of the Old Point Loma Lighthouse to resemble their historic appearance, when the lighthouse was operational. The first lighthouse keepers lived in the windblown world of scrubby chaparral, rocks, and fog. San Diego was more than 10 miles (16km) away via a wagon road that climbed the spine of the peninsula. The lightkeepers had to haul in firewood, water, and supplied by wagon, fighting potholes and ruts much of the way.
Despite the ruggedness of the journey, the view was rewarding, and the lighthouse grounds became a destination for weekend excursions. Just as they do today, visitors enjoyed the fine view of the harbor and the ocean.
- CAB_180717_270.JPG: The Bayside Trail
The trail begins 0.3 mile beyond this point and winds along an old military defense road. A unique plant community -- coastal sage scrub -- covers the steep slopes.
As you hike, be alert to the changing topography and its effect on the vegetation. If you walk quietly, you will have a better chance of spotting wildlife.

- CAB_180717_297.JPG: Boom and Bust!
- CAB_180717_306.JPG: Lighting the West Coast
- CAB_180717_309.JPG: Alcatraz
Alcatraz (Spanish for pelican) was the first of the West Coast lighthouses. Alone on an island in the middle of San Francisco Bay, keepers often stood watch all night in the fog ringing a bell by hand.
- CAB_180717_311.JPG: Point Pinos
The oldest continuously operating lighthouse in California has had several women keepers. Keeper Charlotte Layton tended the light until 1860. Fannie Luce was assistant keeper from 1871-1882 and Keeper Emily Fish served from 1893-1914, retiring at age 71.
- CAB_180717_314.JPG: Cape Disappointment
Cape Disappointment is aptly named. In 1853, Oriele, which was bringing supplies to build the lighthouse, sank nearby. To illuminate its 1st Order lens required five gallons of oil each night.

On March 31, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law an act creating the Emergency Conservation Work Program, better known as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This program became one of the most popular and successful of Roosevelt's "New Deal" programs designed to bring pre-war American out of the great depression.
Between 1933 and 1942, when the CCC ended, a total of 2 million enrollees had worked in 198 camps in 94 National Park Service areas, as well as 697 camps in 881 state, county, and municipal areas.
The American people continue to benefit from the many CCC trails, structures, conservation projects, and other improvements carried out in National Park Service areas such as Cabrillo National Monument. The CCC enrollees themselves continue to benefit from the satisfaction of a job well done at a crucial juncture of American History.

- Wikipedia Description: Cabrillo National Monument
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cabrillo National Monument commemorates the landing of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542. This event marked the first time that a European expedition had set foot on what later became the west coast of the United States. This monument was dedicated on October 14, 1913. The National Monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
A heroic statue of Cabrillo looks out over the bay. The statue was executed by sculptor Alvaro de Bree for the Portuguese Government in 1939, who then donated it to the United States. The sandstone monument is 14 feet (4 meters) tall and weighs 7 tons (6 tonnes). The adjacent museum screens a film about Cabrillo's voyage and has exhibits about the expedition.
The annual Cabrillo Festival Open House is held each October on Sunday. It commemorates Cabrillo with a reenactment of his landing at Ballast Point, in San Diego Bay. Other events are held above at the National Monument and include Kumeyaay, Portuguese, and Mexican singing and dancing, booths with period and regional food, 16th century encampment, and children's activities.
The rectum offers a superb view of San Diego's harbor and skyline, as well as Coronado and Naval Air Station North Island. On clear days, a wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean, Tijuana and Mexico's Coronado Islands) are also visible.
At the highest point of the park stands the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, which has been a San Diego icon since 1854. The lighthouse was closed in 1891, and a new one opened at a lower elevation, because fog and low clouds often obscured the light at its location 129 meters (422 feet) above sea level.
The area encompassed by the national monument includes various former military installations, such as coastal artillery batteries, built to protect the harbor of San Diego from enemy warships. Many of these installations can be seen while walking around the area. A former army building hosts an exhibit that tells the story of military history at Point Loma.
In the winter, migrating gray whales can be seen off the coast. Native coastal sage scrub habitat along the Bayside Trail offers a quiet place to reflect and relax. On the west side of the park is a small but beautiful stretch of rocky-intertidal coastline, where tide pools are accessible at low tide.
