Strong Pacific Ocean waves pound the rock that is home to Tillamook Rock Lighthouse near Cannon Beach, Oregon. Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, also known as Tillamook Rock Light, operated from 1881 to 1957. It was the most expensive lighthouse in the United States to operate because of strong storms that hampered construction and signficantly damaged the lighthouse after it was completed. Sometimes called the Tillamook Head Lighthouse, it is now privately owned and is unofficially used as a columbarium.
