"The setting is Battery Point Lighthouse, adjacent to Crescent City on California’s norther coast. Set atop three-quarters of an acre of solid rock, the old lighthouse has served as a navigational aid to mariners since 1856. On this particular evening, tranquil waters bode well for the northerly-bound sailors and the light-keeper’s family. Aboard, deck lights and cabin lanterns wink on as the house ashore and the light above come to live as the 'Sunset Sentinel' begins its nightly vigil." - William Phillips
