Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse

Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse (Chinese: 鶴咀燈塔) is one of the declared monuments of Hong Kong.

[3] The lighthouse was named after Major-General Sir George Charles d'Aguilar and began service 6 April 1875.

The light was a fixed dioptric first order Fresnel lens, emitting a white light on a focal plane of 200 feet (61 m) above sea level, that could be seen in clear weather 23 nautical miles (43 km; 26 mi).

When the Waglan Island Lighthouse began operation in 1896 the Cape D'Aguilar light was rendered obsolete.

In 1975 the Cape D'Aguilar was placed back into service with an automated system.
