 A lighthouse card arrived today as well and I like these cards as no two lighthouses are the same. This is from Singapore and is The Fort Canning Lighthouse . The lighthouse is located on the top of Fort Canning Hill and was one of 13 lighthouses gurading the Straits of Malacca. Located nearby with the :Flagstaff " and the time bell  these three naviagational structures played an essentilal role in the Navigational history of Singapore.
