No doubt about it. Cabrillo National Monument is more than just a lighthouse. The original lighthouse was declared a landmark in 1913, and that’s what attracts many visitors today. But last weekend, visitors had a unique opportunity to learn about the historic military significance of the monument during the event billed as “Air Raid Pearl Harbor: Fort Rosecrans Goes to War.” Organizers said the event was the only Pearl Harbor re-enactment on the West Coast, and the first-ever held at Cabrillo. Members of the California Historic Group and other re-enactors represented men and women of the U.S. Army 19th Coast Artillery and set up camp displays throughout the park, complete with tents, vehicles and even a bicycle of the period. Observation bunkers, the army radio station and other historic structures were open to view. The event also included a hike to a bunker that contains a 60-inch diameter searchlight, which scanned the skies for enemy aircraft. The bunker, located on the monument’s Bayside Trail, is often missed by hikers and joggers and is normally not open to the public. Perhaps the highlight of the event was a re-enactment of the air raid itself, which took place 70 years ago this month.
