The ruins of the Cape St George lighthouse (now Heritage Listed). It seems that a number of errors led to it being built at the wrong place in 1860, with the result that ships continued to be wrecked on the nearby coast (23 during the operation of the light). It was replaced in 1899 by a new lighthouse at the entrance to Jervis Bay and was later demolished (being used as a Navy target) to prevent confusion with the new lighthouse in poor daytime weather. The PiP shows the coastline to the north and the distant entrance to Jervis Bay, where this should have been sited.
Happy Fence Friday and have a great weekend, everyone.
