Makapu'u, Hawaii
Harbour Lights #377

Makapu'u, Hawaii Beginning in 1888, seamen had petitioned for a lighthouse to be built at Makapu'u Point on the island of Oahu. In June 1906, the United States Congress appropriated $60,000 for its construction. The beacon was first lit on October 1, 1909. The Lighthouse Board decided to use the hyper-radiant First Order Lens purchased in 1887 and exhibited at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair but had since been in storage. The United States Coast Guard fully automated the station on January 1, 1974.
