背景 Background

鶴咀燈塔位於香港島東南岸的鶴咀,一八七五年四月十六日正式啟用,是香港現存最古老的燈塔。燈塔以曾於一八四三至一八四八年出任香港副總督、駐港英軍司令的德己立少將命名。一八九三年橫瀾島燈塔啟用後,鶴咀燈塔變得多餘,一八九六年停止運作,其第一級燈光設備於一九〇五年遷往青洲使用;至一九七五年,鶴咀燈塔的燈籠才重新亮起並改為自動操作。塔身是圓形的花崗石建築,高九點七米,塔基和拱形門口以粗面石塊砌成,鐵門頂部綴有幾何裝飾。二〇〇五年列為法定古蹟,現仍由海事處管理,不對外開放。

Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse stands on the southeast shore of Hong Kong Island and was put into service on 16 April 1875, making it the oldest surviving lighthouse in Hong Kong. It is named after Major-General Sir George Charles D'Aguilar, Lieutenant Governor and Commander of the British Forces in Hong Kong from 1843 to 1848. The opening of Waglan Island Lighthouse in 1893 made it superfluous, and it was taken out of service in 1896; its first-order light was transferred to Green Island in 1905. The lantern was relit and automated in 1975. The round granite tower is 9.7 metres tall, with a base and arched doorway of rustic stone blocks and an iron door topped with geometric decoration. Declared a monument in 2005, it is run by the Marine Department.
