Ponce Inlet Lighthouse (Florida's Tallest) Historic Tour
In this video, we tour the Ponce De Leon Inlet Light Station, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1998. The lighthouse tower and museum are located 10 miles south of Daytona Beach and are open to the public year-round.
The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Florida and the second tallest masonry lighthouse in the country second only to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Visitors can climb 203 steps to the top of the 175-foot tower and enjoy magnificent views of the World's Most Famous Beach, Ponce Inlet, and surrounding inland waterways from the lighthouse gallery deck.
The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse began as the Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse with the purchase of ten acres of land on March 21, 1883. The lighthouse tower design was based on Light-House Board standard plans with modifications made for the specific site. The lantern room was based on the design used at Florida's Fowey Rocks Lighthouse.
The following courtesy of the preservation society website:
The inlet where the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse stands today has long been known as one of the most treacherous in the southeast. Since 1565, when the entire French fleet of Admiral Jean Ribault was wrecked by a hurricane in the vicinity of this Inlet, many ships have been lost here. The Inlet was explored by Captain Antonio de Prado in 1569 and named Los Mosquitos because of the large number of insects. Captain Álvaro Mexía charted the inlet in 1605, but, except for the planting of a few orange groves, the Spanish never settled the area.
When Great Britain gained the Province of Florida in 1763, plantations were settled in this area, and commerce became so great that the colonial government maintained a beacon or daymark at the entrance to Mosquito Inlet. Spain regained the colony in 1784, but the plantations languished.
After Florida passed to the control of the United States in 1821, the plantations revived, and the need for a lighthouse at this dangerous inlet was recognized as early as 1822. However, it was not until June 30, 1834, that Congress appropriated $11,000 for the construction of the lighthouse.
John Rodman, Collector of Customs for St. Augustine, chose a site on a 12-foot high dune on the south side of the Inlet. Winslow Lewis was selected to oversee construction of the forty-five-foot tall brick tower and the installation of the tower's 15 Winslow Lewis reflector lamps. Construction of the new tower was completed in February 1835, at a cost of $7,494. William H. Williams, a long-time Florida resident, and step-son of prominent plantation owner Joseph Hernandez, was selected as Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse's first keeper. Although moving into the light station's keeper's quarters with his family in 1835, oil for the lighthouse never arrived, and the Williams was never able to light the lamps. He removed their silver reflectors and stored them in a trunk in the keeper's house.
In October 1835, a hurricane struck, washing away the keeper's quarters and undermining the foundations of the lighthouse enough to cause it to lean. The trunk holding the lamp reflectors was lost in the storm. Keeper Williams and his family abandoned the area and moved back to his stepfather's plantation. Two months later, Seminole Indian attacks throughout north Florida signaled the start of the Second Seminole War. In December 1835, a Seminole war party under the leadership of Coacoochee (also known as the Wildcat) attacked homes and settlements along the Halifax and Indian River, including the damaged Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse.
The Seminoles may have discovered some of the lighthouse lamp reflectors which probably washed up on a nearby shore. Three weeks after the attack on the Lighthouse, members of the Mosquito Roarers (one of several Florida militias formed in the early days of the Second Seminole War) reported seeing Coácoochee wearing one of the lamp reflectors as a headdress during the Battle of Dunlawton. Much to the white population's dismay, the Seminoles won the battle, and the area' s white population was forced to abandon the Mosquito Inlet area under fear of death. Unable to repair the leaning lighthouse due to the Native American uprising, the damaged Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse finally toppled into the sea in April 1836. It would take more than 50 years for the government to decide to construct the present lighthouse at Mosquito Inlet.

Exploring St Augustine, Florida Before Hurricane Dorian 2019
Exploring St Augustine, Florida Before Hurricane Dorian 2019
City of St. Augustine
St. Augustine (Spanish: San Agustín) is a city in the Southeastern United States, on the Atlantic coast of northeastern Florida. Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States. It is the second oldest continuously inhabited city of European origin in United States territory after San Juan, Puerto Rico (founded in 1521).
The county seat of St. Johns County, St. Augustine is part of Florida's First Coast region and the Jacksonville metropolitan area. According to the 2010 census, the city's population was 12,975. The United States Census Bureau's 2013 estimate of the city's population was 13,679, while the urban area had a population of 71,379 in 2012.
St. Augustine was founded on September 8, 1565, by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Florida's first governor. He named the settlement San Agustín, as his ships bearing settlers, troops, and supplies from Spain had first sighted land in Florida eleven days earlier on August 28, the feast day of St. Augustine. The city served as the capital of Spanish Florida for over 200 years. It was designated as the capital of British East Florida when the colony was established in 1763 until it was ceded to Spain in 1783.
Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1819, and St. Augustine was designated the capital of the Florida Territory upon ratification of the Adams–Onís Treaty in 1821. The Florida National Guard made the city its headquarters that same year. The territorial government moved and made Tallahassee the capital in 1824. Since the late 19th century, St. Augustine's distinct historical character has made the city a major tourist attraction.
In 1965, St. Augustine celebrated the 400th anniversary of its founding, and jointly with the State of Florida, inaugurated a program to restore part of the colonial city. The Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board was formed to reconstruct more than thirty-six buildings to their historical appearance, which was completed within a few years. When the State of Florida abolished the Board in 1997, the City of St. Augustine assumed control of the reconstructed buildings, as well as other historic properties including the Government House. In 2010, the city transferred control of the historic buildings to UF Historic St. Augustine, Inc., a direct support organization of the University of Florida.
In 2015, St. Augustine celebrated the 450th anniversary of its founding with a four-day long festival and a visit from Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia of Spain.
On October 7, 2016 Hurricane Matthew caused widespread flooding in downtown St. Augustine.
On March 4, 2019 Tracy Upchurch was appointed to replace Mayor Nancy Shaver after she resigned due to health concerns. Tracy Upchurch served as mayor of the city of St. Augustine from 1990-1992. Upchurch is currently a practicing attorney, professor of law at Flagler College, and the interim mayor of the city of St. Augustine.

Saint Augustine, Florida - Driving the Bridge of Lions (2019)
The Bridge of Lions is a double-leaf bascule bridge that spans the Intracoastal Waterway in St. Augustine, Florida, United States. A part of State Road A1A, it connects downtown St. Augustine to Anastasia Island across Matanzas Bay. A pair of copies of the marble Medici lions guard the bridge, begun in 1925 and completed in 1927. They were removed in February 2005 and returned in March 2011.
Roads & Bridges magazine named the Bridge of Lions as fourth in the nation's top 10 bridges for 2010. Projects were evaluated based on size, community impact and challenges resolved.
The United States Department of Transportation declared the bridge structurally deficient and functionally obsolete in 1999, prompting heated debates on what to do with the structure. A restoration plan was approved, but opponents continued to voice their opposition. Reynolds, Smith & Hills from nearby Jacksonville was awarded the engineering and design contract, estimated at $77 million, and projected to require five years to complete.

Über St. Augustine (aus Wikipedia):
St. Augustine (spanisch: San Agustín) ist eine Stadt und zudem der County Seat des St. Johns County im US-Bundesstaat Florida mit 12.975 Einwohnern (Stand: 2010). St. Augustine ist die älteste durchgehend besiedelte von Europäern gegründete Stadt der USA.
St. Augustine wurde von dem spanischen Admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés am 28. August 1565 gegründet, dem Gedenktag des Heiligen Augustinus von Hippo, nach dem die neue Siedlung San Agustín genannt wurde. Bereits vorher gegründete Siedlungen, zum Beispiel die ursprüngliche Kolonie in Pensacola im Westen Floridas (1559–1561) und Fort Caroline, das heutige Jacksonville (bis 1564) wurden wieder aufgegeben. Somit ist St. Augustine die älteste Stadt der kontinentalen USA. Eine katholische Messe in St. Augustine war ferner der erste christliche Gottesdienst in einer dauerhaften Siedlung auf dem Gebiet der heutigen USA. Der 1566 geborene Martin de Arguelles war das erste Kind europäischer Abstammung, das auf dem Festland der heutigen USA geboren wurde. 21 Jahre später wurden die englischen Siedlungen Roanoke Colony auf Roanoke Island, North Carolina, und Virginia Colony gegründet, 42 Jahre später wurden die erfolgreichen Siedlungen in Santa Fe, New Mexico, und Jamestown, Virginia, gegründet.
