A lighthouse in the wrong place can be worse than no lighthouse at all.Although well built and properly manned by dedicated staff the location of the Cape St George Lighthouse was chosen in haste. There was little or no input from those qualified to position the lighthouse correctly. There was also no check made that the contract builders built the lighthouse where it was intended. This lighthouse remained in service for 39 years but probably caused more ships to be wrecked than it saved.
