Trinidad Head Lighthouse, perched atop a 175-foot cliff in Trinidad, California, has been guiding vessels since its activation on December 1, 1871. The lighthouse, notable for its fixed white light with a red flash, played a crucial role in supporting maritime trade through the tumultuous waters of Trinidad Bay during the region's lumber and gold rush eras.

Over the years, the lighthouse witnessed significant events, including a fierce storm in 1914 that struck the headland with extraordinary force, nearly overpowering the structure. Despite the challenges faced by its keepers, including the installation of a fog bell and the maintenance of communication lines, the lighthouse has remained a steadfast beacon along the northern California coast.
