Summary

Port Adelaide Lighthouse located at the mouth of the Port River, Outer Harbor. The lighthouse was erected and began service in 1869, and underwent expansion and renovations in 1874. After damage from a storm in 1896 and deterioration the lighthouse was dismantled in 1899 and its components used in other lighthouses. The lantern was transferred to the Wonga Shoal lighthouse at Semaphore, and the steel tower was moved to South Neptune Island and was in use until 1985. The lighthouse was deactivated and moved back to Port Adelaide, where it was reassembled and restored in 1986, and is currently located at Black Diamond Square at the end of Commercial Road in Port Adelaide.
