Built in 1886 the Culebrita Lighthouse once held a Fourth(?) order Fresnel lens. It was badly damaged by a hurricane in 1932 but rebuilt and reactivated shortly after. During World War 2 it was deactivated for security purposes and was once aagin reactivated in 1944. In 1948 the Fresnel lens was switched out for an Automatic beacon which meant the end of caretakers there. In time the building fell into an advanced state of disrepair and in 1995 Hurricane Marilyn tore the cupola (lantern room roof) right off, it sits on the ground near the lighthouse where it landed. Hurricane Hugo in 1998 did even more damage to the lighthouse. The Culebra Foundation is now taking on the task of restoring the lighthouse.

It's being retored, I don't know what'll be done with it after that. There's an active beacon in it.
