Refer to page 45 of Lighthouses Short & Tall for Point Wilson Lighthouse

Note the fourth-order lantern, small because it is a harbor light. The fog signal was perhaps more important than the light. View the first month of the log when the fog signal was established in September 1879. It says the keepers served as a pilot on the tender Shubrick. Do you know what a "pilot" does?
