The Watchet Harbour Lighthouse is a marine navigational aid marking the entrance to a Marina within the historic town of Watchet, in Somerset, England. The cast iron lighthouse is approximately in height and has a red hexagonal tower with white lantern, and green lens. The lighthouse is a harbour navigation mark and does not emit a flashing light associated with traditional lighthouses. Instead it displays a fixed green luminaire marking the starboard (right hand side) approach to the marina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.worldwidelighthouses.com/Lighthouses/English-Lighthouses/Privately-Owned/Watchet.php )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lighthousedepot.com/lite_explorer.asp?action=display_details&LighthouseID=1916 )〕 The lighthouse is owned and maintained by Watchet Marina. ==History== The pier was constructed at the same time as the current east pier in 1860 by Hennets of Bridgwater and re erected in 1905.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.westsomersetmineralrailway.org.uk/welcome/images-and-drawings/directory/?entryid45=9060&q=0%C2%ACHistorical+photograph%C2%AC )〕 It has continued to provide navigational service throughout the port's history ever since. 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「Watchet Harbour Lighthouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
