Sunk Rock Lighthouse

About

Sunk Rock Lighthouse is one of three lighthouses in the Mumbai Harbour off the coast of Mumbai, India. The tower is mounted on a stone pier and painted in a red and yellow checkerboard pattern, with the lantern and gallery painted white. Swimming races are often held between the Gateway of India and the Lighthouse, a distance of 5 kilometres (3 statute miles). The site is operated by the Mumbai Port Trust.
