Punta Lavapie

Chile

I have been unable to find any history for this lighthouse unfortunately.
The location marks the southern entrance to the Golfo de Arauco.
It appears in Chance's order books as a 6th order fixed and occulting lens.
This has obviously been removed at some point and replaced with the new fibreglass construction.
