1967 aerial photo of Point Loma with both New and Old Lighhouses in view. The old lighthouse was built in 1855 and is situated at the Cabrillo National Monument. It is no longer in operation as a lighthouse but is open to the public as a museum. The new lighthouse is at the southern tip of the Point Loma peninsula. It was first lit in 1891, replacing the old lighthouse. The structure is the only one of its kind remaining on the West Coast.
