Last week I noted that while searching for a blue lighthouse, I found one painted with yellow and blue stripes in Argentina, specifically in the far southern reaches of Tierra del Fuego. I indicated that I'd probably visit that lighthouse for the Lighthouse of the Week, and so here it is.
It turns out there isn't a lot to know about this one, which is the San Sebastian light, on the southern coast of the Bay of San Sebastian, near the town of San Sebastian. If you want to see where that is on Google Maps, click here.
Here's what the Lighthouse Directory says about its specifications:
"1949. Active; focal plane 60 m (197 ft); three white flashes, separated by 5 s, every 40 s. 11 m (36 ft) round cylindrical concrete tower with lantern and gallery. Lighthouse painted with blue and yellow spiral bands; lantern painted black."There aren't very many pictures of this one, unlike the other Argentinian lighthouse I featured. Below are three. The first one is from a ham radio call sign expedition to this lighthouse near the end of the world.
