Little bit of our own history.

Can you believe how beautiful this Westport Maritime Museum wedding is? This is the Destruction Island Lens Hall venue in Westport, WA. It is a Coastal, nautical, historic wedding venue in Grays Harbor, and we used our batter powered lights to create this moody, PNW-iconic image. Fun fact: this is the original, working first-order Fresnel lens from the Destruction Island Lighthouse; it stands 17ft tall and was first installed in 1891.

#361 - Plan a visit the Westport Maritime Museum. The museum showcases the magnificent Destruction Island Lens which was shipped by boat to Destruction Island, north of Westport on the Washington coast. The lens was installed in the lighthouse in 1891 and operated until 1995 when it was removed by the Coast Guard and went on display at its present location. (Photo via Westport Maritime Museum)

In response to recent queries about beach combed "urns" or "Myster Jugs". The Westport Maritime Musuem has a collection as well as photos and stories. Along with our displayed items, we feature the news stories of the early 60's. Noted Long Beach Maritime historial Wayne O'Neil photographed a number of the area finds. One jug found on Copalis in the early 60's was opened by UofW and found to hold 16 lbs of ghee. Ghee is a whole other rabbit hole for anyone interested.

Thank you for the great photos today.
