About Mana Island Lighthouse
Constructed in 1865, the Mana Island lighthouse originally stood as a brick structure. This lighthouse was deactivated in 1877. The tower was later relocated to Cape Egmont in 1881. Today, a square pyramidal daymarker rests on the original brick foundation where the lighthouse once stood.
Why it matters: The Mana Island lighthouse represents an early attempt to aid navigation near Porirua harbor. Its relocation to Cape Egmont demonstrates a practical use of its components in a new location.
