Few lighthouses stood as far from land as the one on Tillamook Rock, a basalt outcrop about a mile off the Oregon coast near Ecola Point. Completed and lit in 1881, it carried a first-order Fresnel lens, the largest class the federal Lighthouse Board used, to guide ships past a stretch of coast with a long record of wrecks. Keepers and their families called it "Terrible Tilly" because landings were dangerous and storms could cut off the station for days at a time. R. M. Tabor's view shows the tower as it looked in its first year of operation.
