Tater Du Lighthouse is Cornwall’s most recently built lighthouse. The construction of the lighthouse came out of the tragedy of losing a small Spanish coaster called the Juan Ferrer on the 23rd of October 1963 on the nearby Boscawen Point the vessel capsized with the loss of 11 lives. After the tragedy the Newlyn and Mousehole Fishermen’s Association put pressure on Trinity House for a lighthouse to be built stating that similar tragedies could happen again.
