Karang Mas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
7°39′S 114°27′EKarang Mas or Karang Mas Shoal (Gosong Karang Mas) is a reef located off the northeastern tip of the island of Java, about 15 km offshore at the southern entrance to Madura Strait.[1] The reef was known as Meinderts Reef (Dutch Meyndertsdroogte).[1]
It carried a lighthouse (07° 39' S 114° 27' E) which had existed in the 1930s and was used as a significant navigation aid and landmark, but was evidently destroyed during World War II.[citation needed] The former lighthouse has been replaced with a newer lighthouse which apparently constructed above the base of the original lighthouse.[1]
