Summary
editDescriptionLight. Portland Bill. Dorset. (4793115592).jpg |
The Bill is an important way-point for coastal traffic, and so three lighthouses have been built to protect shipping, in particular from its strong tidal race and shallow reef. The most recent lighthouse is the distinctively white and red striped Portland Bill Lighthouse, which was built in 1906 and is 35 metres (115 ft) high. It was de-manned on 18th March 1996, when monitoring and control of the station was transferred to Trinity House, Harwich, Essex. The automation of the lighthouse included replacement of the optic drive by a dual stepper motor system and air fog signal by a directional electric emitter, controlled by an automatic visibility meter. |
