São Thomé Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Campos dos Goytacazes, Brazil.
The iron structure of São Thomé Lighthouse reaches 45 meters in height and features a rotating light that completes one turn every 68 seconds.
The French company Barbier & Fenestre constructed this lighthouse in 1882, using a design inspired by Swedish engineer Nils Gustaf von Heidenstam's iron frame concept.
This lighthouse stands as a primary maritime navigation reference point along the Brazilian coast, guiding vessels through the South Atlantic Ocean waters.
The lighthouse operates on commercial electric power with a backup kerosene system, projecting light beams visible from a distance of 19 nautical miles.
During World War II, the area surrounding São Thomé Lighthouse served as a landing zone for helicopter supply missions.
