Our Magnificent Lighthouse is bathed in blue tonight to acknowledge World Maritime Day.
World Maritime Day is an official international observance led by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, to highlight the importance of shipping safety, maritime security, and the protection of the marine environment.
Although our McCrae Lighthouse is not operational any more it did serve to guide mariners through the South Channel on the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay for over a 100 years until decommissioned in 1994. Today it serves as a significant landmark on the Peninsula and our McCrae Lions are proud to be able to manage, maintain and illuminate the structure for worthwhile causes of which raises much needed awareness.
