Other Information
Inaccessible – Not open to public.
Located at the most Nort westerly point in the continental United States, Cape Flattery was lit just two weeks after New Dungeness. The building was also the same except the tower’s height of 65 feet. Supplies arrived to the 20 acre Tatoosh Island from Lighthouse Tenders or local dugouts and then lifted by derricks.
The fourth order lens is presently on display at the New Dungeness Lighthouse museum.
