Proud for india...
Really amazing island🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝
I love this.
The lighthouse is situated on a hillock. There are 70 masonry steps to reach the tower. The Lighthouse is an unattended station. A rainwater tank and a restroom have been provided for the maintenance staff. A third order revolving optic, on a mercury trough with DA (dissolved acetylene) gas burner and gas motor to revolve the optic, all supplied by M/s BBT, Paris were installed inside the lantern house over the CI tower . The light was commissioned on 14 April 1969. Due to frequent failures of the rotation system, the revolving optic assembly was removed and a 500-millimetre (20-inch) cut-and-polished drum optic was placed in position in 1978. The DA gas burner was replaced by a DA gas flasher with a sun valve. This reduced the consumption of DA gas but the intensity of the light went down.
Thank you

Rose Island (Andaman)

Rose Island, sometimes called Little Neill Island, is an island of the Andaman Islands. It belongs to the South Andaman administrative district, part of the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The island lies 40 km (25 mi) northeast of Port Blair.

EtymologyEdit

Rose is named after Field marshal Hugh Rose.

History

The lighthouse is situated on a hillock. There are 70 masonry steps to reach the tower. The Lighthouse is an unattended station. A rain water tank and a rest room have been provided for the maintenance staff. A third order revolving optic, on a mercury troughwith DA (dissolved acetylene) gas burner and gas motor to revolve the optic, all supplied by M/s BBT, Paris were installed inside the lantern house over the CI tower . The light was commissioned on 14 April 1969. Due to frequent failures of the rotation system, the revolving optic assembly was removed and a 500-millimetre (20-inch) cut-and-polished drum optic was placed in position in 1978. The DA gas burner was replaced by a DA gas flasher with sun valve. This reduced the consumption of DA gas but the intensity of the light went down.

With the shortage in the supply of DA gas it became essential to change over to solar energy. Accordingly, the light source was replaced by 12V 100W Halogen lamp inside the same optic and on the same pedestal. The system became operational on 18 October 1993.

Geography

The island belongs to the Ritchie's Archipelago and is located 4 km (2 mi) south of Neill Island. It is locally known as 'Chhota' Neil (‘Little’ Neil).
