If you notice the date on this post, you'll figure out that for the first time in a long time, I missed having a Lighthouse of the Week for the week of April 1-7, during the week of April 1-7. So this is a special lighthouse on the island of Mauritius - an abandoned lighthouse that once guarded the main approach to the harbor of Mahébourg, which was the original French settlement on Mauritius. It is kind of symbolic of the island's history.
Some quick info from the Lighthouse Directory:
1865. Inactive for many years. 26 m (85 ft) masonry tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 2-story and 1-story keeper's complex.That's pretty much it. Below are three pictures and a short video.
