An Entity of Type: tower, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Negril Lighthouse was built in 1894 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south south east of the westernmost tip of the island of Jamaica by the French company Barber & Bernard. It is one of the earliest concrete lighthouses. Its foundation is a tank 14 feet (4.3 m) deep, which is kept filled with water to keep the 20-metre (66 ft) (27 metres (89 ft) according to Rowlett) reinforced concrete tower balanced and secured in the event of an earthquake. The tower is topped with a lantern and gallery. Several adjacent one-story frame keeper's houses are staffed. The site is a well-known attraction of the Negril area.

dbo:abstract
  • El Faro de Negril​ (en inglés: Negril Lighthouse) fue construido en 1894 1,5 millas (2,4 km) al sureste de la punta más occidental de la isla de Jamaica por la empresa francesa pelele y Bernard. Es uno de los faros más antiguos de hormigón. Sus cimientos consisten en un tanque de 14 pies (4,3 m) de profundidad, que están lleno de agua para mantenerlo a los 20 metros (66 pies) reforzando la torre de hormigón y asegurándola en caso de un terremoto. La torre está rematada por una linterna y galería. Una luz blanca automática 30 m (100 pies) sobre el nivel del mar parpadea cada dos segundos. La luz funcionaba con gas inicialmente, cambio a acetileno en 1956 y a la energía solar en 1985. (es)
