Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Located on a steep cliff on the south side of O`ahu. One of the best-known beacon lights in the Pacific, it stands as a sentinel to Honolulu, flashing a welcome to mariners from the east and west. Built on the side of the extinct Diamond Head Volcano, the original lighthouse structure was erected in 1899, and is surpassed in longevity in Hawai`i by only the Aloha Tower Light, built in 1870. The original ironwork of the watch room and lantern at Diamond Head are still in use. The present tower, built in 1917, was constructed of reinforced concrete and stands 55 feet high. The original lighting equipment consisted of a 3rd order Fresnel lens and a special multiple-wick kerosene oil lamp, imported from France in 1899. These pieces of equipment were standard throughout the world for lights of this size and importance. |
