About Butcher Island Lighthouse
The Butcher Island Lighthouse stands off the south side of the island in Thane Creek, near Mumbai. This slender, cylindrical skeletal tower is constructed of steel and stands 12 meters tall. It emits a light with four flashes, alternating between white and red, every 10 seconds. The focal height of the light is 9 meters, providing a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed.
