Album Info:

Lake Baikal lighthouse Note: Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake, is located in southern Siberia. Several lighthouses formerly guided navigation on the lake, but we do not know how many have survived. Additional information would be welcome. * Port Baikal Date unknown (late 1800s). Inactive. Approx. 10 m (33 ft) round cylindrical cast iron tower with lantern and gallery. An excellent closeup photo shows the tower unpainted and rusting, but a distant photo shows the tower painted white and the lantern and gallery painted red. We hope this means the lighthouse has been restored recently. The lighthouse is a typical late nineteenth century French tourelle. It represents a design built at many locations in France and around the world, but the great majority of these towers have been lost over the years. Located on a steep hillside above Port Baikal, on the west side of the entrance to the Lower Angara River, the outflow from the lake. The site appears open, the tower closed.
