. . . But The Harbour Light Shines On
New Caledonia’s A madee Light house, which stands on the reef at the entrance to Boulari Passage, giving access to Noumea’s harbour, will complete its 100th year of service to shipping this year. The lighthouse, a steel structure, was built in France in 1862, dismantled, and shipped to New Caledonia piecemeal in the “Emile Pereire”, which reached Noumea on November 15, 1864.
Exactly a year later, the lighthouse was officially opened by New Caledonia’s Governor Guillain. The lighthouse is 150 feet high.
