Matthew Town Lighthouse
Located just beyond the Matthew Town limits, this picturesque lighthouse was erected in 1870 to light the way for ships using the Windward Passage between Inagua and the larger island to the south, Hispaniola, where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are located. It’s a lonely spot, fit only for bird-watching, but there’s something indefinable about lighthouses that draws people to them. This one is no exception. The climb to the top is a long one and, perhaps, not really worth the effort. The view is of a lonely, rocky shoreline with only Matthew Town to break the monotony of the flat, almost featureless, land- and seascape. Interesting, though, is the machinery that drives the light, and its great fresnel lens.
