Witness the remnants of the Mouille Point Lighthouse. Its story begins in 1842 a beacon of hope against the treacherous rocks of Table Bay. This round stone tower stood tall approximately 11 meters high. It guided ships away from danger. The Old Lighthouse wasn’t the first in South Africa. The Green Point Lighthouse predated it by nearly two decades. But the Mouille Point Lighthouse played a crucial role. It protected ships navigating the busy waters of Granger Bay. Its demolition in 1908 marked the end of an era. Yet its legacy remains. The foundation still exists. You can see it today in front of the hotel school. This hotel school is part of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Imagine the countless sailors who relied on its light. They navigated the dark seas towards safety. The Mouille Point Lighthouse a silent sentinel. It stands as a testament to maritime history. A reminder of the dangers faced by early seafarers. Today only its foundations survive. But its spirit lives on in the stories of those who were guided by its beam. Think of the countless journeys its light illuminated. The Old Lighthouse a humble reminder of a bygone era.
