Summary

[edit]
Description

En la Punta de las Negras, Cabo Silleiro (Galicia, España), está el antiguo Faro Silleiro. Fue encendido por primera vez el 31 de marzo de 1862, con una planta rectangular de 168 metros cuadrados cimentada en la roca. Al principio tenía una lámpara de mecha, con una óptica Sautter hecha en París y utilizaba aceite vegetal como combustible. Daba una luz fija con 17 millas naúticas de alcance. En 1909 se cambió la instalación por una lámpara de petróleo.

El 8 de agosto de 1924 se estrenó el nuevo faro a 800 metros del antiguo y a 80 metros sobre el nivel del mar. En la noche del 21 al 22 de diciembre, el nuevo faro sufrió un incendio y el viejo faro tuvo que ser recuperado, siendo usado de nuevo hasta que el 13 de julio de 1925 se puso definitivamente en marcha el nuevo faro.

El estado actual del antiguo Faro Silleiro es ruinoso. El techo ha desaparecido, y de su torre de granito sólo queda la base: los otros dos cuerpos octogonales ya no están. Tiene todas las ventanas selladas, salvo una ventana acristalada que está en la torre, a la que se sube por una estrecha escalera de caracol. El tabique de cierre de la puerta del faro ha sido reventado.

Former Lighthouse Silleiro. In the Punta de las Negras, Cabo Silleiro (Galicia, Spain) there is the former Lighthouse Silleiro. It was ignited by the first time on March 31th, 1862, with a rectangular plant of 168 square meters established in the rock. Initially it had a lamp of wick, with an optics Sautter made in Paris and there was using vegetable oil as combustible. It was giving a fixed light with 17 miles naúticas of scope. In 1909 the installation changed for an petroleum lamp.

On August 8th 1924 the new beacon had its premiere to 800 meters of the former one and to 80 meters on the level of the sea. In the night from December 21th to 22th, the new beacon suffered a fire and the old beacon had to be recovered, being used again until on July 13th 1925 the new beacon was started definitively.

The current state of the former Lighthouse Silleiro is ruinous. The roof has disappeared, and of its tower of granite only the base stays: other two octogonals bodies already are not. It has all the sealed windows, except a glazed window that is in the tower, to which it is raised by a narrow stairs of snail. The partition of closing of the door of the beacon has been burst.
