The hexagonal, 22-foot cast iron lighthouse has guided ships into the Somerset town’s harbour and marina since 1862. Its distinctive light can be seen from up to nine miles at sea. However, harbourmaster Captain Jessica Tyson has revealed that the traditional crimson colour violates the International Organisation for Marine Aids to Navigation guidelines.
