Horsburgh Lighthouse, Lighthouse on Pedra Branca island, Singapore
The granite structure rises 34 meters above the rocky outcrop, featuring black and white bands and a revolving white light visible every 10 seconds.
The lighthouse began operations in 1851 after British merchants funded its construction to enhance maritime safety in the Singapore Strait eastern entrance.
The lighthouse bears the name of James Horsburgh, a Scottish hydrographer who created navigation charts between China and India in the early 1800s.
Located 54 kilometers east of Singapore mainland, the lighthouse guides vessels through the eastern entrance of the Singapore Strait.
The foundation stone placement ceremony in 1850 made this the first lighthouse globally to incorporate Masonic traditions in its construction.
