Few lighthouses stood on a site as unforgiving as the one pictured here: a First Order light on Tillamook Rock, a basalt outcrop a short distance off the Oregon coast. The station was lit in 1881, and its large Fresnel lens was meant to guide ships past a coastline known for fog and heavy surf. Keepers and supplies had to be hauled up the sheer rock by cable, and sailors came to call the station "Terrible Tilly." R. M. Tabor is credited as the artist of this view, which shows the station in its first year of operation.
