85/365 Coquille River Light from Both Sides


 The Coquille River light aka the Bandon Lighthouse was originally lit in 1896



 It assisted mariners in navigating the Coquille River's dangerous shifting sandbars.



 After a decline in the shipping industry, causing a downturn in Bandon's economy, the Lighthouse was decommissioned in 1939. It was replaced with an automated light on south jetty.
