Panmure Island Lighthouse, built in 1853, was the second lighthouse on Prince Edward Island. It was built to guide the heavy shipping in eastern Prince Edward Island such as that described in the Royal Gazette, August 25, 1835: “On Sunday last there were one hundred and seventy-five vessels at anchor in the harbour at Three Rivers, chiefly American fishermen.” Panmure Head, as it is sometimes called, was the first of the Island’s octagonal wooden towers. The lighthouse was built at the northeast point of Panmure Island which is, in fact, connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus. At high tide ships sometimes met their doom trying to enter Cardigan Bay by crossing over the water covered isthmus. The lighthouse is located at the entrance to Cardigan Bay and Georgetown Harbour.

PLAN EXPLANATORY OF THE SCHEME FOR THE DRAINAGE OF THE AUCKLAND METROPOLITAN AREA.—Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board's area at present includes Auckland City, Mount Eden, Mount Albert, Newmarket, One Tree Hill and Mount Roskill. Eventually Mr. Watkins proposes to include from Henderson in the west to Panmure in the east, and from the Waitemata to Papatoetoe. He suggests moving the treatment works and outfall from Orakei to Motukorea (Brown's Island). For the northern boroughs he proposes treatment works and outfall at Ranopara Point, between Red Bluff and Castor Bay. The black solid circles indicate existing: outfalls, which would be done away with, and the black rings show the new proposed outfalls. The heavy dotted lines show the main sewers into -which the present reticulations would empty.
