Port Adelaide Lighthouse, Maritime museum lighthouse in Port Adelaide, Australia
The hexagonal cast iron tower stands 25 meters high, featuring a white balcony and lantern atop its red-painted structure at Black Diamond Square.
The lighthouse arrived from England in 1867 as prefabricated pieces and began operating at the Port River entrance in January 1869.
The South Australian Maritime Museum maintains this maritime heritage structure, which represents the evolution of coastal navigation in South Australia.
The lighthouse grounds remain accessible year-round, while the South Australian Maritime Museum operates daily from 10 AM to 5 PM except Christmas.
The structure moved three times: from Port River to Neptune Islands in 1901, then to its current location in Port Adelaide in 1986.
