Here’s another great photo from Jessica, one of the contributors to the Flickr Travel Photo Daily group.

Located between Daytona Beach to the south and Jacksonville, to the north, St Augustine is the nation’s oldest European-settled city, founded in 1565, as well as the oldest port in America. 

The city has a rich history, including being burned after Sir Francis Drake attacked the city.  Later, in 1668, pirates attacked and plundered the city, killing most of the residents.  During it’s long history, it has been attacked by British forces, Seminole Indians, and Union Army troops during the American Civil War.

St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest location in the United States that had a navigational aid for sailors.  In the 1500s, the Spanish placed the first maritime watchtower on the East Coast. By 1824, a permanent lighthouse was erected, which was later replaced by a new lighthouse, located further from the shoreline.

The lighthouse from where this photo was taken dates back to 1874 and give a magnificent 360 degree view of the area.
