Photo Caption:

This c. 1883 photograph of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is the earliest known photo, taken by L.G. Davidson. If you look closely, you can see the station boat, resting hull upwards, on the left of the stairs. The newspapers reported that Charlotte Petersen was hoisted onto the Rock in the boat, rather than riding in the box. (Lighthouse Digest archives)
