Oakland Harbor Light is a lighthouse in Embarcadero Cove, California
[edit] History
The original tower was built in 1903 at the entrance of Oakland Harbor. In 1951, the lighthouse was relocated to Embarcadero Cove in Oakland, and was sold to a private party that has maintained the structure as Quinn’s Lighthouse Restaurant. The lantern was transferred to Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse in Santa Cruz, California.
