Tillamook Rock, OR

The Final resting place of the Eastern flank of The Northern point of
San Andreas Fault http://imagecache5.art.com/LRG/29/2989/Y7VQD00Z.jpg
Where Indians believed under ocean tunnels inhabited by spirits came
to the surface;
to the top, fighting off the gripping hands of the sea,
precarious line between human endeavor and the forces of nature.
An intriguing and powerful testament of the will and determination of
the human spirit, the story of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse began in
1879.
The engineer decided the rock could be conquered.
with his assistant Cherry.
In attempting a landing, Tw slipped and was swept into the churning
sea. Cherry dove in after him, but couldn't find him. The boat was
able to rescue Cherry - local skilled workers could not be found
willing to work on the construction. Appointed by young Wilson (born
December 28, 1856 - died February 3, 1924), who later became President
- Wilson had, Charles Ball hired men unfamiliar with the area and
sequestered them in the Cape Disappointment keepers' quarters until
construction could begin, in hopes the locals would not scare them
away. On October 21, 1879, four laborers were put on the rock. The
rest of the crew followed five days later. Putting men on the rock
entailed stringing a four and half inch line from the U.S. Revenue
Cutter, Thomas Cowin, to the rock. The men would then use a "breeches
buoy" to cross the line. With the cutter rolling and pitching in the
swells, the line was never taut, and the transported fellow was often
drug through the icy water. The workers chipped, chiseled, and blasted
away. And then it hit. The seas crashed above the crest of the rock.
Rocks flew as breakers tore off chunks of the rock and tossed them at
will. The perilous storm pounded the rock. The storehouse was swept
away taking most of their tools and provisions. Then the water tank,
the traveler line and the roof of the blacksmith shop were ripped
away. Clinging on for life, the men stayed in their shelter, the
safest place onthe rock. Hungry, soaked, and with no place to go. They
as felt in tomb worked; after a total of 525 days of labor, the
lighthouse was lit for the first time on January 21, 1881. Amazingly,
the reputation of the lighthouse spread from coast to coast, not only
known as an engineering triumph, but also as a challenging assignment
for even the most stalwart keeper. Nicknamed "Terrible Tilly", (TT) it
lived up to its name.
