LOTD: Plavnik

(from: http://www.ibiblio.org/lighthouse/hrv1.htm)

Plavnik (Rt Veli Pin) (2)

Date unknown (station established 1890). Active; focal plane 20 m (66 ft); white flash every 6 s. 12 m octagonal tower, painted white. Trabas has a photo by Ulrich Knapp and Google has a satellite view. The first lighthouse was a cast iron tower. Plavnik is an island off the east coast of Cres. A narrow channel separating the islands, the Kanal Krusija, is the shortest route from the Adriatic through the islands to Rijeka. Located at the northwestern point of Plavnik, marking the east side of the narrowest opening of the channel. Probably accessible only by boat, but there should be a distant view from the ferries linking Krk and Cres. Site status unknown. ARLHS CRO-182; Admiralty E2872; NGA 12472.
