Object detail
The real Bean Rock Lighthouse lamp was officially lit on 24 July 1871.
Still seen daily by Waiheke and Rangitoto ferry passengers, Bean Rock is the only remaining wooden cottage lighthouse in New Zealand, with its distinctive hexagonal design. It now runs on solar power and the name Bean Rock honours a Navy Captain, P.C. Bean who helped chart the Waitematā Harbour in 1840.
