History
It was first built in 1895 and it was automated in 1980.[1][2]
The red 10-metre (33 ft) tall wood tower is attached to the seaward end of a 1-1/2 story wood lighthouse keeper's house. The light sits at an elevation of about 40 metres (130 ft) above sea level. The occulting light emits a white, red, or green light (depending on direction) once every six seconds. The site is accessible by boat, but there are no road connections to the lighthouse from the rest of the island.[3][4]
