LOTD: Cabo Espichel

~sorry for delay - meant for June 14th, 2023~

(from: http://www.ibiblio.org/lighthouse/prtc.htm)

Cabo Espichel

1790. Active; focal plane 168 m (551 ft); white flash every 4 s. 31 m (102 ft) tapered hexagonal stone tower with lantern and gallery, rising from a large 1-story keeper's complex. 4th order Fresnel lens in use. The lighthouse is covered with white tiles except for unpainted stone trim; lantern roof painted red. Fog horn (one 8 s blast every 31 s). Otávio Nogueira's photo is at below, Trabas has an excellent photo, Finwe Palantir has a good 2006 photo, Huelse has a historic postcard view, and Google has a street view and a satellite view. Cabo Espichel is a very prominent cape about 27 km (17 mi) south of the Tagus. Monks of the monastery of Nossa Senhora do Cabo (Our Lady of the Cape) are said to have displayed navigational lights here as early as the 15th century. Serving as a landfall light for Lisbon, the lighthouse was long considered one of the more important in the country. The site is rather isolated; the lighthouse was not electrified until 1989 and it is still staffed by rotating crews of three keepers. Located atop a spectacular vertical cliff about 11 km (7 mi) west of Sesimbra. Site open; lighthouse open on Wednesday afternoons. . ARLHS POR-009; PT-360; Admiralty D2139; NGA 3508.
