Photo Caption:

This image of a fog bell attached to a wall at Fort Point is one of the 200 historic photographs featured in the book, Lighthouses of the Bay Area. Notice the ladder from the top of the fort to the fog bell, which was not automated and had to be rung by hand. (Reprinted with permission from Lighthouses of the Bay Area by Betty S. Veronica from Arcadia Publishing.)
