This page shows what I know about Jamaica. It actually has two lights we visited after Stephen and Tia were married. |

Lazaretto Cairn (Rackhams Cay Range Rear)
The range guides vessels westward on their approach to Kingston Harbour. This appears to be a historic day-beacon converted to a lighted aid. Located on a bluff on the west side of the harbor entrance, opposite Port Royal.

The area has been developed as a tourist attraction, with a restaurant and observation deck near the lighthouse. Located 20 miles south of Mandeville at the top of a spectacular vertical cliff. We used a professional driver, without him, we probably would have gotten lost on this trip. (J 5341) ARLHS # JAM-003 |

If you have a picture where I have none, I'm interested in putting it here. You maintain copyright and I'll publish that and how to contact you (if you'd like). If you would like copies of any of my pictures, contact me and well discuss arrangements. There are others who do this commercially, I have no intention of competing directly, but you can make a proposal, and I'll react. mailMe
