Field Recordings

Bathing and Braying by Andrew Rains Weymouth, released 13 February 2018

Point No Point was named by Lieutenant Charles Wilkes of the US Exploring Expedition in May 1841 because he thought the quarter-mile-long point tended to appear and disappear from view, depending on his position. Before that the area was an S’klallam fur trading point and after that here has been the Point No Point Lighthouse. During WWII the lighthouse was used as a station for convalescing service men and movies were projected on the lighthouse's attic walls.
