| On
October 14, 2003 the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse re-opens it s doors to
public for the first time after Hurricane Fabians extensive Mercury
spill.

The Special clean up team finished their work and
the lighthouse is now declared
safe to re-open to visitors and locals alike.
"The lighthouse open
again, but the long-term repair is going to take some considerable
time," said the Harbour Radio officer.
"A lot of parts are needed, but they won't use mercury in the new
equipment.
"If they have to have it replaced, they will go with a modern type of
technology.
"But it's a big job and it does need a considerable amount of parts,
so as a temporary measure they have arranged to have these four bulbs
working, instead."
