Harrison Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located in the northern Parish of Saint Lucy, Barbados.[1]
The lighthouse has a cylindrical shape and it was the latest, of four lighthouses, to be built on the island, in 1925. It is built in concrete block, it has a height of 26m (85feet) and a focal height of 59m (194feet). The tower is white painted and the lantern is red; its characteristic, before the temporary deactivation. was two white flashes every 15 seconds.[2] The lighthouse was deactivated probably in 2007, as reported by Admiralty, because it was on the ground of a prison; the tower was abandoned and the keeper's house ruined. In 2011 the Admiralty confirmed the activity of the lighthouse with a continuous red light.
