Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Cast iron lighthouse in Southampton, Bermuda.
The lighthouse extends 36 meters above Gibbs Hill, featuring a 1000-watt electric bulb that produces light visible from 40 nautical miles at sea.
Built in 1846 following numerous shipwrecks on Bermuda's coral reefs, this structure stands as the first cast iron lighthouse constructed in the world.
The lighthouse received Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, commemorated by a plaque at the base marking her visit to this maritime navigation point.
Visitors can climb 185 steps to reach the observation deck, which remains open from Monday through Saturday between 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM.
The lens system weighs three tons and completes one full rotation every minute, generating a beam visible to aircraft flying at 10,000 feet.
