Description:
Large scale rare map of South Australian lighthouses as at 1885, with two table; one listing lighthouses and another of government wharves and jetties. There are two insets at lower left showing positions of beacon in the Port Adelaide River and Port Pirie River. Also shown in red are the lighthouses with life boats (L) and Rocket Apparatus (R). To aid shipwrecks in South Australia after the tragic loss of life with the Star of Greece shipwreck, it was found that just having rocket life-saving apparatus was inadequate, as the rocket stations were far apart. As a solution each station was set up a crew of volunteer residents from the area to be trained in the rocket apparatus and which were able to get to ships in distress quickly.
