Pencarrow Head cast-iron lighthouse tower kit

Supporting Heritage Journey asset for the Pencarrow Head story: the cast-iron lighthouse tower kit tendered to Messrs Cochrane and Company of Woodside Iron Works, Dudley, shipped to Wellington in packages and erected at Pencarrow Head before the 1 January 1859 lighting.

Evidence note

NZHistory and Chance Heritage Trust support the Cochrane/Woodside tower-kit tender, package arrival, and erection sequence; co-shipment of all lighthouse components with the Chance optic remains plausible but not modeled as verified.
