I suspect the lighthouse played a role in World War II during the American occupation of Vieux Fort, when the Americans had military (radar) installations at Moule-A-Chique. And I'm not sure it was the Americans who established the lighthouse. From my understanding the lighthouse was meant for Australia (note there is a St. Lucia in Austrialia), but in St. Lucia it was installed. Anyway do some research to be sure. Jolien Harmsen at the Reef in VFort would be in the know. Or I can double this information and email.
