Constructed in 1858 this three-story hexagonal lighthouse was originally located in Matagorda Bay, at the southern tip of Half Moon Reef. The beacon served as an aid to ships trading in Port Lavaca and nearby Indianola.
The beacon was in service till 1943 when it was moved to Point Comfort, then moved to it's present site in 1979. The beacon was restored as a community project and placed on dislplay.
To register a find for this virtual cache post an entry accompanied by a photo of the lighthouse with you and your gps in the pic. As I know that not everyone carry's a camera with them all the time, the alternate means is to e-mail me with the answer to this question:
On the middle plaque, the 1980 Texas Historical Marker, what is the third word in the ninth line from the bottom?
Please do not post your answer in your log entry, even encrypted. Have fun in Port Lavaca and see the museum as well.
