Point Halswell Lighthouse, Wellington, 6022, New Zealand 

Point Halswell Lighthouse was named after Judge Edmund Storr Halswell (died 1874). It is an octagonal concrete tower with black and white checkerboard pattern.

  • The lighthouse is currently operational as an aid to navigation.
  • The tower is 6m high with total elevation above sea level 8m.
  • The light flashes white every 3 seconds for 0.3 of a second.
  • The light range is 15 nautical miles.

Looking out to sea beyond the lighthouse is the area known as Rukutoa. This has always been an important fishing ground and shellfish gathering area for inner harbour Maori tribes. Rukutoa, named because only the most skilled divers were capable of obtaining shellfish, is notorious for its strong currents and rough waters. Many lives have been lost in divers’ quests for seafood at this site.
