Baring Head Lighthouse

Baring Head lighthouse is modeled here as the replacement approach light that made Pencarrow Head’s upper lighthouse a day mark after the new automated light became operational in 1935.

Evidence note

NZHistory supports Baring Head becoming operational in 1935 and replacing Pencarrow’s main navigational role; detailed Baring Head source capture remains open.
