Sultan Shoal - The Light House

The Light House is build in 1895.  Apparently from archive photos, there was no island but just a lighthouse building built on top of a shoal, with just a boat jetty accessing the light house (https://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/photographs/record-details/a0a4a9f1-1162-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad).  Matching to what I see in the late 90s, the boat jetty main structure still remains, while the island is being reclaimed around the light house.  In early 2000s, the original timber boat jetty is demolished and rebuild with a concrete jetty.
