The Ventura County coast has been illuminated for more than a century by three distinctive lighthouses; united in their mission of warning mariners of coastal hazards and guiding ships to safe passage. Port Huenemersquo;s original 1874 Victorian Stick Style lighthouse stood sentry until it was replaced in 1940 by the still-standing art moderne structure; which guards the only deepwater port on the California coast between San Francisco and San Pedro. The Anacapa Island Light; a cylindrical brick structure in the Channel Islands lit in 1932; was the last new lighthouse on the West Coast. Ventura; originally dubbed San Buenaventura by Fr. Junipero Serra in 1782; extends its ldquo;good fortunerdquo; to the steamers; warships; tankers; and other craft guided to safety by these navigation beacons.

I learned a lot of the beginnings to the town and that helps to get me started but I also want more. Thus my 4 stars instead of 5 stars.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
