Location
The Jamaica National Heritage Trust has designated the 1841-built Morant Point Lighthouse as a National Monument. On the island, it is the oldest lighthouse. Constructed from 100 feet of cast iron tube, which was cast in London, it has a base diameter of 5 feet and a cap diameter of 3 feet.
It is situated near the island's easternmost point. African Krumen provided the labor needed to create the Lighthouse. The Kru men were a group of free Africans who travelled to Jamaica as labourers after emancipation.
