Smalls Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Pembrokeshire, Wales
The stone structure rises 41 meters above The Smalls, a group of basalt and dolerite rocks located 32 kilometers from Marloes Peninsula.
James Nicholas Douglass designed and constructed the current lighthouse in 1861 to replace the previous wooden structure built on oak pillars in 1776.
The lighthouse became the subject of navigation history when Captain Thomas Hubbard Sumner discovered the concept of celestial position lines near this location.
The facility operates with solar power systems and projects a white light that flashes three times every 15 seconds, visible up to 18 nautical miles.
This lighthouse holds the distinction of being the first in the United Kingdom to incorporate a water flush toilet system in its facilities.
