South Gare Lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon at River Tees mouth, North Yorkshire, England
The cylindrical tower rises 13 meters high, featuring cast iron construction clad in white stone with porthole windows illuminating an internal spiral staircase.
Built in 1884 under engineer John Fowler's supervision, the lighthouse was constructed to guide ships safely around the dangerous Coatham Rocks area.
The Grade II listed structure represents the evolution of maritime safety technology, from its initial paraffin lamp to the current LED lighting system.
Located at coordinates 54°38′51″N 1°08′15″W, the lighthouse produces white and red light signals visible up to 20 nautical miles with 0.5-second flashes every 12 seconds.
The lighthouse operates using a modern water-cooled hydrogen fuel cell while maintaining its original Victorian-era lenses and mechanical systems.
