The Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse is an historic icon of Humboldt County that was threatened by coastal erosion. The Trinidad Civic Club, whose members are stewards of the Lighthouse, are dedicated to preserving its maritime history and continuing the tradition of sponsoring a memorial site for those lost and buried at sea. The presentation will document the story of the Memorial Lighthouse through historical and recent photographs, including the Trinidad Head Lighthouse. The coastal erosion, the moving of the lighthouse, and plans for the future memorial site in the Trinidad Harbor will be covered and depicted.

The Trinidad Civic Club is a non-profit organization, dedicated to community support by enhancing the lives of others through service.

Jan West is a retired educator from Trinidad School and Cal Poly Humboldt. She is currently serving as co-president of the Trinidad Civic Club, and is active in community projects.
