Background
The Sultan Shoal Lighthouse (Chinese: 苏丹浅滩灯塔; Malay: Rumah Api Sultan Shoal; Tamil: சுல்தான் ஷோல் கலங்கரை விளக்கம்) was built in 1895 during the time when the late Commander Charles Quentin Gregan Craufurd (from the Royal Navy) was the Master Attendant (equivalent to the present day Port Master) of Singapore. It was built to replace the beacon previously established there.Light & Optic
