The Low Light of the Hook of Holland (''Lage licht van Hoek van Holland'') is a lighthouse that once stood at the Hook of Holland, but has since been dismantled and reassembled near the Rotterdam maritime museum. ==Origin== An octagonal brick tower in height was built on the site of the low light in 1893, with a higher tower behind it. It was designed by A.C. van Loon. Coming from the sea, the low light would be seen first, then the high light behind it. When the two were aligned vertically the ship was on the correct course to sail the Nieuwe Waterweg (New Waterway) leading to the Port of Rotterdam. However, it was soon obvious that the low light was too low, and it was replaced by a round cast iron tower, the last cast iron lighthouse to be built in the Netherlands. 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「Low Light of the Hook of Holland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
