Clearwater Harbor and the bridge from Clearwater Beach to Sand Key

Clearwater Harbor was first visited by Europeans in 1528. This was 37 years before St. Augustine (1565), 79 years before Jamestown (1607), and 92 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock (1620).
This photograph was taken from the foot of Jeffords Street, south of downtown Clearwater. This is near the the site of Fort Harrison, built during the Seminole Wars in 1835. The fort was named for General William Henry Harrison, hero of the War of 1812 and the Battle of Tippecanoe in the Ohio Indian wars against Chief Tecumseh. He became the 8th President of the United States but died of pneumonia after only 32 days in office. The fort was abandoned in 1841, the same year of Harrison's brief Presidency. The site was excavated by the University of Florida in 1977 when an ammunition bunker was unearthed during a swimming pool contruction.
The lighthouse was added to the original photograph to compliment the Church Motto, A Lighthouse on the Suncoast. You won't find it in Clearwater Harbor. It was created with software and exists nowhere on earth except on our server's hard drive.
