Phare de La Caravelle, Maritime lighthouse in La Trinité, Martinique.
The Caravelle lighthouse stands 162.55 meters above sea level on a basaltic peak at the eastern coast of Martinique.
Built between 1860 and 1861 under Napoleon III reign, the lighthouse began operations in 1862 using petroleum vapor until its automation in 1970.
The Caravelle lighthouse represents the maritime architecture of the 19th century and remains the oldest of four active lighthouses in Martinique.
The lighthouse emits three white flashes every fifteen seconds, guiding maritime navigation along the Atlantic coast of Martinique.
The lighthouse underwent several power transitions: from gas to wind energy, then generator power, and finally solar panels in 1996.
