Climb The Elbow Reef Lighthouse…

Elbow Cay has a shining beacon of its historical past in the last active kerosene burning and
manned by keeper lightstation in The Bahamas with historical (8) outbuildings (circa 1863) and an
original working lighttower.

 
Lighthouses worldwide have removed their original historic ‘manual’ parts in favor of the
efficiency of electricity; removing vital technology that made them authentic.
The Elbow Reef Lighthouse remains the only active and manned lightstation in the world that has
not been electrified; the lens is hand-wound by a keeper and fueled by kerosene.
