Fisherman at the Walton Lighthouse
Thanks to a major donation from Charles Walton of Los Gatos, enough money was raised to begin construction of the new lighthouse in 2001. The lighthouse, designed by Mark Mesiti-Miller and constructed by Devcon Construction, Inc., stands 41 ½ feet tall above the level of the west jetty, and 59 ½ feet above the mean low water mark. It weighs 350,000 pounds and is built to withstand a quarter million pounds of wave energy. The lighthouse has a copper roofed lantern room on top. On June 9, 2002, the new harbor lighthouse was dedicated, and the signal, a green light flashing every four seconds at a focal plane of 36 feet, was activated. It is named the Walton Lighthouse, in honor of Mr. Charles Walton’s late brother, Derek, who served in the merchant marines. Located in Santa Cruz California
