Ever imagined a lost sailor upon the seas, the choppy winds, the sea at its boisterous best, all drear and gloom around? Ever wondered what the light from the lighthouse would mean to the lost sailor? And read John 8:12... "I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life."
Tangasseri Point Lighthouse station, Quilon/ Kollam (08 °52.7’ N 76°34.0’ E)
The British East India Co had factories at Tellicherry & Anjengo and other interests along the coast. To assist their fleet they raised a column at this site during the mid 19th century and placed on it an oil lamp. The present Tangasseri Point Lighthouse tower was established in 1902. This tower (42m above MSL) has a brick masonry murette (Red and White diagonal stripes) with wooden lining inside. The present light source is a 230V 400 W metal halide lamp (which flashes White thrice every 15 seconds having a range of 20 nautical miles) was put in to operation on 15th May 1994.
