21st Sep 2010: Daniel K. Inoue Kilauea Point Lighthouse in Kauai

Image
Daniel K. Inoue Kilauea Point Lighthouse, located at the northernmost tip of Kauai, was built in 1913. At the time of its construction, the two shell-shaped lenses used in the lighthouse, made in Paris, France, were the largest in the world.  The tower is about 16 meters high, and at the top is a circular iron terrace with a handrail. The lighthouse's beam shines brightly on the sea 90 miles away, and for decades it played an important role in assisting commercial ships sailing through the Hawaiian Islands.   In 1930, electricity was supplied by a generator, and in 1976 the Coast Guard converted it from a manned lighthouse to an automatic lighthouse, and it retired.  Three years later, in 1979, it was designated a National Historic Landmark. The surrounding area is designated as the Kilauea National Wildlife Refuge, and rare wild birds live there. The visitor center right next to the lighthouse displays information about the wild birds and nature that live in the area....
