Notes
  • See also HABS No. PR-48-A.
  • Significance: The first Puerto San Juan LIghthouse was built in 1846 at location 18* 20' N - 59* 48' 50" W, 187 feet above water. The light was formed by five parabolic reflectors. The structure deteriorated so badly that a new location was chosen by mid 1860's. The new installation was built at its present location in 1876 as a 3rd order light. It had an exposed brick octagonal base which supported an octagonal tower (cast-iron) painted gray and white. The lantern was also octagonal crowned with a copper cupola. The original lenticular lens was built apparently by Lemmonier Y Cie. The earliest known characteristic was a fixed white light, with eclipses in 1' in 1'. It had no dwelling although it was serviced by three keepers.
