It
had taken 6 years to build this lighthouse (1913 to 1919) and it became
operational the same year as the Slangkop lighthouse at
Kommetjie. Six
years may seem a long time but if one walks the path from Cape Maclear to
Cape Point along some of the steepest sea cliffs in the world then it
becomes clear why.
For more information on this and the old lighthouse tour back to the
previous 2 pages.
