Long James - a photo on Flickriver

Long James

            Lange Jaap ("Long James"), also known as Kijkduin Light or Den Helder Light, is an active lighthouse near fort Kijkduin in Huisduinen, Netherlands. At a height of 182 feet (55 m) it is one of the tallest traditional lighthouses in the world. For almost a century, from 1878 to 1974, it was the tallest lighthouse in the Netherlands, until the construction of Maasvlakte Light.

According to The Lighthouse Directory it is the tallest non-skeletal cast iron lighthouse in the world. That may be the case if the height as specified in that source were correct (63.5 metres (208 ft)). The actual height is 55.5 metres (182 ft)which makes it the the second tallest, Cikoneng Light being 190 feet (58 m).

The site is open and accessible. However, due to safety concerns the tower has been closed to the public since 1998.
