Dixon Hill Lighthouse, San Salvador, Bahamas (2005)
Built in 1887 on a former plantation owned by John Dixon, this 400,000 candle-powered lighthouse has a visibility of 19 miles. Standing 163 feet above sea level, it maintains four-hour watches nightly, giving a double flash every 10 seconds. This kerosene lit, hand-operated lighthouse is the last of its type in The Islands of The Bahamas.
We explored the lighthouse. The air was think with the smell of kerosene. The gentlest touch of a handle would send the dome spinning endlessly. The beautiful lenses are all hand-carved. We left a donation for the lighthouse keeper as we left.
Inside Dixon Hill Lighthouse, San Salvador, Bahamas
The Dixon Hill lighthouse is located on the island of San Salvador in The Bahamas south of Dixon Hill Settlement, on the east side of the island. It is approximately 160 feet tall, and was constructed in 1887 by the Imperial Lighthouse Service. To this day, it is hand-operated at night, but during the day it is open and anyone can go in, walk up, and enjoy the majestic views. The crafstmanship of the original components is intricate and exquisite... they don't build 'em like this any more! It is one of only a few hand-operated lighthouses remaining in the world. At the end of the video you can see what it looks like at night from the outside when the light is on. This video was shot in August 2015.
