Columbia River Lightship (WLV-604)

When Light Vessel Number 50, also known as the Columbia River Lightship, was towed to its location five miles west of the mouth of the Columbia River in 1892, it became the first lightship to serve on the West Coast. WLV-604 was the final Columbia Lightship, serving from 1951 to 1979.
