About Lyttelton Harbour (Gladstone Quay) Lighthouse
An octagonal wooden tower, standing 6 meters tall, was constructed in 1878 to serve Lyttelton Harbour. This structure features a lantern and gallery, and emits a single green flash every second. Its focal height is also 6 meters. The lighthouse is situated on Gladstone Quay, just 0.2 kilometers from the nearest port facilities. This aid to navigation has a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. While the site is accessible, the tower itself is not open to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for guiding vessels into Lyttelton Harbour, a key port for New Zealand's South Island, and helps mariners navigate busy shipping lanes.
