While in Hope Town on Elbow Cay in the Bahamas we were able to ascend the lighthouse there. Built in 1862, it’s about 154 years old, and is still in operation. It is one of three remaining operational kerosene-fueled lighthouses in the world. It has a spring mechanism that has to be hand cranked every several hours to maintain the sequence of five white flashes every 15 seconds. The lamp burns kerosene oil with a wick and mantle. A large Fresnel lens, floating on a bed of mercury, focuses the light. It can be seen from 23 (43 km) nautical miles away.

Outside of the lighthouse, at dusk.

Explored on 9-9-16, highest at #228
