Cannon Beach, Oregon — The Tillamook Rock Lighthouse off the northwest coast of Oregon is for sale, for $6.5 million.
The island's isolation, impossible boat landings and extreme weather as well as the lighthouse crews' dislike of their months-long stays where they were cold, wet and constantly reminded of their dangerous job, earned the tower the nickname "Terrible Tilly."
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports investors paid $50,000 in 1980 to buy the deteriorating lighthouse, Oregon's only offshore light station. The structure sits a mile from Tillamook Head between Seaside and Cannon Beach.
