| Darnley Basin Outer Range Light, 1919 |
| |
| The two range lights at Darnley Basin were fitted with green catoptric lights, the Darnley Point range lights were red. Shifting sands at the harbour openings caused by weather and tides were a hazard to navigators. Lighthouses in areas of possible moving sands, particularly along the north shore, were constructed so that their locations could be altered to assist, rather than hinder, navigation. Some early navigational lights were simply lamps at the end of poles in the sand. | | Next>>> | | Previous<<< |
