South Africa Lighthouse Stamp, 26 Jul 2013

Posted on November 12, 2013 | Leave a comment

On 26 July 2013 the South African Post Office issued a souvenir sheet with 10 stamps commemorating the Centenary of Port Elizabeth 1913-2013. On the margin of the sheet and on the stamp at the upper right the lighthouse at the Donkin Reserve is depicted. This light is no longer active and is a popular tourist destination as the lighthouse is open and provides a spectacular view of the city.
