This 1947 bird’s-eye view of the Rock shows the derrick and boom along with the derrick building where the operator was housed, in addition to the Eastern stairs, loading platform, storage tanks, and foghorn building with its two siren trumpets attached to the rear of the lighthouse. There is an unidentified keeper up on the tower catwalk. It is amazing to think that the entire derrick assembly was washed away more than once in the fierce storms on Tillamook Rock.
