Bell Ringer Posted August 16, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2009 The quote is from the only recent article about the lighthouse that I could find....dated 2007. St. David's 1879. Active; focal plane 65 m (213 ft); two white flashes every 20 s; tower also carries flashing red and green lights that cover nearby shoals. 22 m (72 ft) octagonal limestone tower with lantern and double gallery; 2° Fresnel lens. Jeremy D'Entremont's photo is above right, and Edwin Hoogerbeets has a good 2007 photo, Tim Conway has a 2008 photo, and Huelse has a historic postcard view. Formerly all white, the lighthouse is now painted white with a broad red band in the center. The keeper's house is occupied by resident caretakers. Recently renovated. Located on St. David's Island, in St. George Parish, at the northeastern tip of the islands. Site open; tower open daily May through September. Operator/site manager: Bermuda Department of Marine and Ports Services So the tower won't be open in October? Or can a local give an up to date reply?
