Coordinate error

edit

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for Willamette River Light.

The current listed wikidata coordinates are wrong and incorrectly place the old lighthouse off the east shore of what is now Kelley Point in the middle of the Columbia River. It was actually in the mouth of Willamette River off the north shore of Kelley Point (then known as "Nigger Tom Island").

Correct coordinates:

45°39'2"N 122°45'53"W

  Done. Thaks for establishing more-exact coordinates. Deor (talk) 16:16, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
