Text of Crescent City Harbor sign:
Crescent City Harbor has been an important port for almost 150 years. The lumber industry shipped much of the redwood, spruce, and fir cut in nearby forests by schooner to ports along the West Coast. Fishing, another important industry, has provided a livelihood for many since the late 1800s. But dangerous shoals near Crescent City have also claimed their toll, taking schooners, steamers, and trawlers to the bottom.
The construction of the St. George Reef and the Crescent City lighthouses have helped navigators avoid disasters like the 1865 wreck of the Brother Jonathan.
