Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

The tower is 7.2 m (23.5 ft) tall and was built in 1878. This range light was protected by wooden cribwork and rocks.

Light: fixed red Focal Height: 6.3 m (20.5 ft)

Explanation of range lights. Two lights are used in this scheme. The one closer to the vessel is named the front range; the furthest away is called the rear range. The rear range light is almost always taller than the front.

When the vessel is on the correct course, the two lights line up above one another. But when the observer is out of position, the difference in alignment indicates the proper direction of travel to correct the problem.
