About Tuticorin Harbour Range Rear Lighthouse
Tuticorin Harbour Range Rear is a 55-meter tall square pyramidal skeletal steel tower. It is painted with black and white horizontal bands and stands 59 meters above sea level. The light emits an occulting white flash every 10 seconds. It is situated on a short pier inland from the coast, approximately 1.7 kilometers from the nearest port of New Tuticorin. This structure, along with its companion front light, helps guide vessels into Tuticorin Harbour. The tower and its site are not accessible to the public.
Why it matters: This range light is important for the safe passage of commercial vessels entering and departing Tuticorin Harbour, a major Indian port. Its alignment with the front light helps ships maintain the correct bearing, avoiding hazards in busy shipping lanes.
