The Kaup Lighthouse was constructed in 1901 by the British to aid navigation along the crucial sea route. It has since become an indispensable landmark for sailors. Initially, the lighthouse used a kerosene lamp, which was later replaced with an electric one to enhance its range and visibility. Over the years, the lighthouse has undergone several upgrades to incorporate modern technology, ensuring its continued effectiveness in guiding ships. The lighthouse stands as a silent witness to the maritime history of the region, having guided countless vessels safely through the treacherous waters. It serves as a reminder of the importance of lighthouses in safeguarding sea travel and facilitating trade.
