Cape Pembroke ((スペイン語:Cabo San Felipe))〔()〕 is the easternmost point of the Falkland Islands, and is on East Falkland. There is an automated lighthouse here. ==Lighthouse== An automated lighthouse on Cape Pembroke was built in 1855, and rebuilt in 1906, and was restored in the 1990s. Previously, the nearby Billy Rock offshore had claimed fifteen ships, and there were unlit markers here. The original light used rape seed oil, but as it burnt a thousand gallons a year, sea lion oil was attempted as a substitute. When it was rebuilt in 1906, it was converted to paraffin and worked by clockwork. After World War II a less romantic structure was built to the east. A small lighthouse keepers cottage used to stand here. The lighthouse itself, is now a listed building. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape Pembroke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
