Grand Turk Lighthouse is a lighthouse on Grand Turk Island Turks and Caicos Islands. The 60 feet (18 m) tall structure overlooking North Creek was completed by British architect Alexander Gordon in 1852 to alert sailors of the shallow reef. Brighter kerosene lamps and a more powerful Fresnel lens were added by the Chance brothers in 1943 and remained in use until 1972 when the lighthouse was electrified.
