Great Isaac Lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure on Great Isaac Cay, Bahamas.
The 151-foot white cylindrical tower with a black lantern illuminates the waters north of Bimini Islands with a range of 23 nautical miles.
Constructed in 1859 to protect merchant ships from dangerous reefs, the lighthouse gained attention when its two keepers disappeared during Hurricane Anna in 1969.
Local stories tell of a Grey Lady, supposedly the mother of a shipwrecked infant, whose cries echo across the island during full moons.
The lighthouse requires boat access from Bimini, and visitors should note that the interior stairs are removed while the grounds remain open.
The coral head foundation of Great Isaac Cay creates sharp terrain around the lighthouse, making land navigation particularly difficult for explorers.
