Talk:Currie Lighthouse

Additional text
I've removed the following text from Chance Brothers; perhaps, if citations can be found, some of it can be used here?

"The Curie Harbour lighthouse on King Island Tasmania is still in operation. It was pre-fabricated by Chance Brothers in Birmingham and shipped in 312 pieces to King Island with no assembly instructions. It is of wrought iron and a cast iron base and was first lit 1880. It was out of operation between 1989 and 1995. King Island forms a barrier to the western approach to Bass Strait, which vessels must navigate. The area between the island and Cape Otway, on the Victorian Coast, is known as the "Eye of the Needle", and has claimed many ships and lives. King Island's rugged coastline alone has claimed at least 60 vessels and more than 800 lives during the past 180 years."
