About San Pablo Southbound Range Front Lighthouse
Also known as: San Pablo Southbound Range Front (1 and 2)
The San Pablo Southbound Range Front light was established in 1914 as a concrete tower with a lantern. It is situated on an island at the southern exit of Gatún Lake in Panama. The original structure has since been replaced by a skeletal tower. This operational light emits a continuous green signal. The tower stands 9 meters tall.
Why it matters: This range front light is indispensable for safe navigation through the Panama Canal, specifically guiding southbound vessels as they exit Gatún Lake. Its precise positioning helps ships maintain the correct course in a narrow and heavily trafficked waterway, preventing groundings and collisions.
