Mangrol is about is 85 km east of Porbandar on the coastal highway.The region has a very good plantation of coconut palms.Prior to independence Mangrol was a Shaikhdom – Shaikh Bin Taj was the first in 1398 appointed as Deputy to Viceroy of Emperor at Mangrol. His heirs lost authority to Foujdar of Junagadh in 1592.It was gained in 1749 by Shaikh Mian who ousted Maratha Thana and other rivals.His descendants Ruled Mangrol till 1947 when they joined the Indian Union. Mangrol port was developed by providing a break water and other infrastructures. As many as 164 crafts called at the port every year during the early 20th century. This brought tremendous prosperity to the region. The steamers bound for Porbandar touched this port also. The first light at Mangrol port was exhibited in 1877 from a masonry column in the port remises. This light was shifted in 1880 onto the top of the newly constructed port Building. It was the oil lamp in an ordinary lantern. A dioptric equipment was provided in 1939, but the light continued to be a fixed light. The revolving optic was introduced at the Lighthouse in 1954. The electricity for the system was generated by agenerating set installed in the same building. The system functioned satisfactorily for more than two decades. During 1977-78 a new Lighthouse at a site about half a km East of the port was planned. It was completed in 1985. The PRB-21 equipment was installed on the new RCC tower and was commissioned into service on 25th March 1986.

Faro Martín Gracía
El 7 de enero de 1897 se inició su construcción y se libró al servicio el 26 de julio del mismo año.
Las características técnicas consistían en un sistema parabólico con fanal octogonal, de 43 metros de altura y 6 millas náuticas de distancia visible: tenía una autonomía de 7 meses y luz blanca fija alimentada a petróleo.
En 1916 se reemplazó la luz fija por el kerosén con una luz a destellos con alumbrado a carburo de calcio. En 1924, se colocó un aparato AGA, quedando una luz blanca a dos destellos cada 10 segundos.
La torre cilíndrica fue construida con piedra y ladrillos, con la casa habitación como anexo. La garita fue realizada en hierro, con forma de prisma recto regular, de sección octogonal con aristas de hierro T y las caras con cristales.
En su parte superior cuenta con un casquete de hierro esférico en cuya cima hay una esfera de 35 centímetros de diámetro con pararrayos de 1,10 metros de altura.
El predio del faro ocupa 2.500 metros cuadrados de terreno fiscal y el edificio es una casa habitación de mampostería de dos plantas.
En febrero de 1938, el Ministerio de Obras Publica colocó un semáforo y en consecuencia el faro Martín García dejó de funcionar.
Fue declarado Monumento Histórico Nacional, según decreto 1.741 en el año 2011.
El faro antiguo se encuentra a 5.6 m de altura y en su torre se encuentra una linterna AGA que se encendía de forma automática mediante acetileno.
Hermoso Faro , LA MARINA ,con su Torre AGA., en el Barrio de Miraflores Lima Peru , tuve la oportunidad de conocerlo, hace algun tiempo.

La Marina Lighthouse (Spanish: Faro de la Marina) is an active lighthouse set on high cliffs above the Pacific Ocean, in Miraflores a district of Lima, Peru. It is one of the most famous and visited lighthouses in the country.
Originally constructed in 1900 at Punta Coles, a headland near Ilo, the lighthouse was dismantled and reconstructed in Miraflores in 1973 by the Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation of the Peruvian Navy. Since the move, it has remained situated in the appropriately named Parque el Faro, one of a number of popular parks above the cliffs in the city, which commemorates a century of Peruvian navigation.
