It contained a two-page handwritten letter dated 29 January 1903. It was written by James Robert Meech, the then lighthouse inspector of the Hobart Marine Board.
Information about the changes made in the lighthouse
ajab gajab : The letter gave details of the important work done in the lighthouse. It mentioned about the replacement of the wooden staircase with a new iron spiral staircase, new concrete floor and the installation of a lantern room.It also recorded the changes in the order of the light’s brightness. It also contained a list of the names of the keepers and staff involved in the project. According to PWS, the work cost the Marine Board £2,200, which is equivalent to about $474,000 Australian dollars today.
Anita Waghorn, PWS manager for historical heritage, said the condition of the message was remarkable. The letter gives us an insight into the work that went into the lighthouse and the people who did it. This information adds to the rich history of Bruny Island and Cape Bruny Lighthouse.
The lighthouse was first lit in 1838
ajab gajab : The Cape Bruny Lighthouse, first lit in 1838, guided ships through some of Australia’s most dangerous waters for more than 150 years. It was then closed in 1996 and replaced by a solar-powered light located nearby.The discovery has surprised historians and PWS officials, as no one had accessed the sealed walled space since the lantern room was installed in 1903.Local media have described it as one of the most significant lighthouse-related discoveries in several years, providing a rare time capsule from the state’s maritime past.
