The Whalers Bluff Lighthouse was built in 1859 on what is now known as Battery Point complete with keeper's quarters and was know as the Portland Bay Lighthouse.
The lighthouse was relocated, stone by stone, to it's current position on North Bluff (now Whaler's Bluff) in 1889 to make way for gun emplacements on Battery Point.
The present light is 40.5m above sea level and is visible for 24kms and is group flashing white and red every 30 seconds
