Information recorded is the day, date, hour, wind (direction and force), weather, barometer readings, thermometer readings, record of vessels passing, record of visibility of light and duties performed during the day. From July 1935 the senior light keeper recorded a monthly summary of activities and incidents for the proceeding month, this report was abolished in July 1953.
