Hope Town Lighthouse


Marsh Harbour, Bahamas (BS)
The Hope Town Lighthouse was built in 1862 and is one of the last operational kerosense lighthouses in the world. In addition, the lighthouse is also one of three Manuel Lighthouses in the world. A spring mechanism has to be cranked after several hours to maintain the flashes.
