For the past few days Mr Johnson has been has been teaching LS2 about the different lighthouses in New Zealand. There are 23 active lighthouse and 75 beacons. My group who are Alex, Avalon, Carl, Joshua W and I have picked one of the active lighthouse Nugget Point Lighthouse which is operated by a company called Maritime New Zealand. This lighthouse was automated in 1989 but before that there were a couple who looked after the lighthouse. There names were Walter Hutton Champion and his wife Alice. Nugget Point lighthouse can be found in Otago which is in the region of the South Island of New Zealand. The DLO above explains a brief history of Nugget Point house such as how it was operated during different times and also the specifications about the lighthouse.
