Molo de Abrigo, Valparaiso, Chile

While going through some old photos, noted that I had photographed this light which sits at the end of the naval pier in Valparaiso harbour.  I have seen the name of the light listed as simply Punta Molo and also as Molo de Abrigo. Date the light was established could not be determined. It is a skeletal white and red tower with a beacon. Photo was taken in March 2009.
