Horsburgh Lighthouse, is located on Pedra Branca island, 54 km off the mainland of Singapore, 46 km east of Changi Point, at the eastern entrance to the Singapore Strait. It is the oldest of the four lighthouses in Singapore
waters. It was named after eminent navigator and hydrographer, Captain James Horsburgh, F.R.S. Built on a solid solitary rock, during difficult monsoon conditions, the lighthouse foundation stone was laid on 24 May 1850, in the presence of Governor William J. Butterworth and other dignitaries. The tower and light was ready for operation by 1851.
