Summary
| Description |
The Kaipara North Head Lighthouse was built in 1884 in response to the continued loss of ships and lives. 13.4 m wooden tower. Last wooden tower built in New Zealand. The settlement grew in response to employment opportunities but by 1920 steamers had largely replaced sailing ships, and the large sawmills had closed as the kauri forests were exhausted. In 1947 the Kaipara Harbour was closed as a port of entry to New Zealand. In 1952 the light was dismantled and the lighthouse decommissioned. The associated houses were barged to various locations around the Kaipara. Restoration and maintenance of the lighthouse is now being undertaken by the Historic Places Trust. |
