Description
Print of an original acrylic painting on canvas of the Coquille lighthouse in Oregon. Coquille River Light is a lighthouse located near Bandon, Oregon. It was originally commissioned in 1895 as Bandon Light to light mariners past the dangerous shifting sandbars into the Coquille River and harbor at Bandon.
The light contained a fourth-order Fresnel lens and connected to the nearby keepers house by a wooden walkway. In September 1936, a large wildfire swept through the surrounding area, and destroyed most of Bandon. The town soon became bankrupt as a result of the decline in shipping. Coquille Light was shut down in 1939 and replaced by an automated light on the south jetty.
