H. is situated in the North shore of Yaquina Bay. Cape Fowlweather L.H. " " " "Yaquinna Point" according to Prof Davidson & The Coast Pilot ; or on "Cape Fowlweather" according to Col Williamson and also the C.S.

This point was the one known as Cape Fowlweather by the people,so named on charts & maps, stated by Col Williamson as the site of the Fowlweather Light, & was certainly the point intended when the Government Reservation was declared. It is 3 3/8 miles to the Northward of the Yaquina Light & about 9 miles south of Prof Davidson's Cape Fowlweather.
