A panorama made up from seven vertical shots. Margate Harbour at night as the tide drops and the water recedes, looking towards Dreamland through the boats. The Lighthouse can just be seen above The Pier wall. In the distance, between the fishing boats and across the reflections on the sea,The Big Wheel at Dreamland can be seen next to Arlington House.

The original lighthouse was designed by the architect William Edmunds and was completed in 1829. It was destroyed in the North Sea flood of 1953. The design was a round Doric column similar to the lighthouse at Whitby.

A replacement lighthouse with an octagonal column was built in 1955. This lighthouse features on the series G Bank of England £20 note along with the Turner Contemporary.
