背景 Background
燈籠洲燈塔位於香港島以西、馬灣以南的燈籠洲，地處汲水門水域，又稱汲星燈塔，屬香港少數保存的戰前燈塔。香港經濟隨蘇彝士運河一八六九年通航而發展，遂在沿岸設照明設施引導船隻。燈塔一九一二年啟用，高十一點八米，屬鋼製骨架，塔頂白色燈籠與鋼架均購自英國。毗鄰磚砌看守員房屋設睡房、廚房、廁所及儲物室；島上無自來水，雨水由屋頂收集引入水池。燈塔自二十世紀初為數以千計西面來港船隻導航，現由海事處管理，已自動操作、無人駐守。二〇〇〇年列為法定古蹟。
Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse stands on Tang Lung Chau (originally Kap Sing Island), a small island west of Hong Kong Island and south of Ma Wan in Kap Shui Mun, also known as Kap Sing Lighthouse. One of Hong Kong's few surviving pre-war lighthouses, it came into service in 1912. The 11.8-metre skeletal steel tower and its white lantern were both obtained from England, and the adjoining brick keeper's house had a bedroom, kitchen, toilet and storeroom; with no fresh water on the island, rainwater was collected from the roof into an underground tank. It has guided thousands of vessels approaching Hong Kong from the west since the early 20th century. Managed by the Marine Department, it is now automated and unmanned, and was declared a monument in 2000.
