Cape Jaffa Lighthouse, Maritime museum in Kingston SE, Australia
The Cape Jaffa Lighthouse stands 41 meters tall, featuring an eight-room dwelling that served as accommodation for two lighthouse keepers and their families.
Built in 1872 on Margaret Brock Reef, the lighthouse operated continuously until 1973 when the federal government transferred its ownership to the National Trust of South Australia.
The lighthouse contains exhibits including a registered log cabin quilt and displays about maritime history, showing the life of keepers through preserved artifacts.
Tours run hourly from 10 AM to 3 PM during South Australian school holidays, with admission fees of 15 dollars for adults and 7 dollars for children.
The structure utilized the Wells Screw Pile design and contained a Chance Brothers lantern visible from 40 kilometers away across the southeastern waters.
