    2 sources · high confidence
  3. First lit

Assets and History

  • Historically part of Roches-Douvres lighthouse station identity1869

    The station lineage carries the reviewed Roches-Douvres lighthouse identity across destruction and reconstruction.

  • Built Roches-Douvres 1954 granite lighthouse1947 – 1954

    Construction of the replacement began in 1947 and continued for seven years, using granite dressed and numbered on shore before shipment to the reef.

  • Commissioned Roches-Douvres 1954 granite lighthouse06/1954

    Preferred public assertion at month precision: POP records the present lighthouse as lit in June 1954. This supports the Story's 1954 milestone without selecting a disputed exact day.

  • Commissioned Roches-Douvres 1954 granite lighthouse19/06/1954

    Alternative official assertion: the DIRM 2025 lighthouse guide gives 19 June 1954. It remains visible in Research but does not silently override the month-level editorial choice.

  • Commissioned Roches-Douvres 1954 granite lighthouse14/07/1954

    Alternative official assertion: the public DIRM lighthouse page places the lighting in the night of 13-14 July 1954. The anniversary framing remains evidence, not an uncontested exact date.
