The first lighthouse I saw on our cruise was the Cape Spencer Light sitting along the coast just as you enter Glacier Bay and for ships headed into southeast Alaska and the Inside Passage. The earliest light appeared on Cape Spencer in 1912 but the buildings weren't built until 1924/25. The light was removed in 1974 but the structure is still used today for navigation and the US Coast Guard stops by for regular maintenance and upkeep.
