Cabra Island Lighthouse
The Cabra Island Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse built on Cabra Island, the westernmost of the Lubang group of islands in Occidental Mindoro, Philippines. International vessels entering the Philippines from South China Sea were welcomed by the Cabra Light and directed either towards Manila Bay or the center of the archipelago through Verde Island Passage, one of busiest sea routes of the Philippines.
==Cabra Island==
The island is the westernmost among the Lubang Group of islands and is an island-barangay of Lubang, Occidental Mindoro. With a length of about 2.8 miles (4.5 km) and about 1.8 miles (2.9 km) at its widest, the island has a flat terrain with the highest elevation at around 200 feet. The lighthouse complex is situated about 656 yards (600 m.) the from the west end of the island.〔U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, "United States Coast Pilot, Philippine Islands Part 1", p.158. Washington Government Printing Office, 1919.〕
The community in Cabra was established by the Spaniards in 1885, the year they started building the lighthouse. It was named ''Cabra'' (goat) after the Spaniards saw herds of goats when they landed.〔〔("Cabra Island" ). Lubang Island. Retrieved on 2011-11-01.〕
