Lighthouses of Western South Africa
The Republic of South Africa occupies the southern end of the African continent, including the famous capes of Good Hope and Agulhas. Dutch and British colonists struggled to control the country for many years, but by the mid 1800s the entire coastline was under British control. As a result, South Africa's lighthouse heritage is chiefly British.
Roman Rock Lighthouse .
1861. Active; focal plane 17 m (56 ft); quick white flash every 6 s. 14 m (46 ft) cast iron tower with flared top, lantern and gallery, mounted on a circular stone pedestal. Entire lighthouse painted white. The tower was prefabricated in England, but it took four years to build the base on a waveswept rock in False Bay. The lighthouse was extensively renovated in 1992, and the original lantern was replaced with a modern lantern and light. Located on a rock in False Bay about 2 km (1.6 mi) east of the Simonstown Dockyard Light. Accessible only by boat.
