Lighthouse Collectable - Admiralty Head - Danbury Mint - NEW

Washington - In 1858 the United States purchased 10 acres of land costing 400 for the location of the lighthouse. The original lighthouse was completed during the months just prior to the Civil War and was among the West s earliest navigational aids. It had a fourth order Fresnel lens and the light could be seen sixteen miles away. This light welcomed Puget Sound marine traffic to Admiralty Inlet. In 1890 with construction of the fort to protect Admiralty Inlet the light was relocated relinquishing the building and site to the U.S. Army. The original Red Bluff wooden lighthouse was demolished to make room for soldiers and guns in Fort Casey.
