Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The first lighthouse (1835) was an octagonal tower, painted with red and white stripes, with an attached dwelling. The light employed six lamps with twenty-four-inch reflectors. The mechanism had to be wound up every four hours. On June 17, 1881 a fire broke out and completely destroyed all the buildings at the station.
The present Quaco Head Lighthouse was constructed in 1966. The light produces a white flash every ten seconds, while the fog signal emits a three-second blast every thirty seconds, when needed. |
