Built in 1853 it is claimed that the light has gone out only once since then, during the 1907 earthquake. The 21 m (70 ft) stone and cast iron tower shows a white light visible for about 40 km (25 miles) over the entrance of the eastern navigable channel and a red light over the south channel which is visible for 20 km (12 miles)
