Here’s what I got when I asked AI to help identify the lighthouse in my photo and tell me about it:

The lighthouse in your photograph is the Nawiliwili Lighthouse, located in Nawiliwili Bay on the island of Kaua’i, Hawaii. Here are some key details about it:

• Name: Nawiliwili Lighthouse
• Location: Nawiliwili Bay, near Lihue, Kaua’i, Hawaii
• Description: The lighthouse stands 86 feet tall and has an off-white color due to a local ordinance. It was built in 1906 and was automated in 1953, meaning it no longer requires a full-time light keeper.
• History: The bay was dredged and protected by a breakwater to form Nawiliwili Harbor, as no natural deepwater harbors exist along Kaua’i’s coastline. The origin of the name “Nawiliwili” is disputed, with one claim suggesting it comes from Wiliwili trees that once grew in the area.
• Keeper’s Story: The first light keeper, Manuel Souza, tended to the oil lamp in the tower. He faced challenges, including irregular pay and isolation, eventually resigning in 1903. The United States assumed control of Hawaii’s navigational aids in 1904.
