Description:
The fog signal building was completed on the point in 1890, two years before the fortress-like lighthouse would begin operation.
As can be seen in the top photograph to the left, the lighthouse was undergoing restoration during the first part of 2004 in preparation for opening to the public later that summer. The lighthouse has been inactive since 1957.
