Hillsboro Lighthouse - Pompano Beach, Florida 4K
In 1901, Congress authorized the construction of the Hillsboro lighthouse as it stands today. According to the bill, "This light is very much needed by vessels bound through the Florida straits into the Gulf of Mexico or to the island of Cuba. Its erection will complete the chain of lights which extend from Jupiter Inlet to Tortugas, so that the navigator can make one light before losing sight of another."
Built in 1906 by Russell wheel & Foundry Co., the Hillsboro lighthouse was constructed in Detroit, MI and shipped 4,000 nautical miles to its current location.
IN 1907, THE HILLSBORO LIGHTHOUSE WAS FIRST ILLUMINATED.
The light source was provided by an incandescent Oil Vapor Lamp, in a revolving in a Second Order Fresnel Lens floating on a pool of mercury. Later, the mercury was removed and the light source was replaced with a modern, more efficient alternative.
