Description
A second order fixed white light 383ft (116.7m) above sea level, visible for 27miles (43.5km) was constructed of cast iron sheeting, and replaced in 1901 by a cylindrical granite tower.
Originally an octagonal stone lighthouse-keeper’s cottage was built. In 1889 two lighthouse-keepers' cottages were built. James Hannay was the first lighthouse keeper for Breaksea.
