Tanjung Tutpateh (Pulau Leti)

Date unknown. Active; focal plane 42 m (138 ft); three white flashes every 10 s. "White metal framework structure," according to NGA; this is probably a square skeletal tower with gallery. No photo available, but Google has a satellite view of the station. This light and the former Pulau Yako Light in Timor Leste framed a narrow passage around the eastern end of Timor, joining the Banda Sea to the Timor Sea. Located at the eastern tip of Pulau Leti, 35 km (22 mi) east northeast of Pulau Yako. Site status unknown. ARLHS IDO-335; Admiralty K1374; NGA 25719.

Pulau Lakor

2007. Active; focal plane 35 m (115 ft); two white flashes every 10 s. 30 m (98 ft) square skeletal tower with gallery, painted white, mounted on a square 1-story equipment building. Darell Tristan Utanmeru's photo is at right, and Bing has a satellite view. Pulau Lakor is the easternmost of the three major islands of the Leti group. Located at Keti, a village on the south side of the island. Accessible only by boat. Site open, tower closed. Admiralty K1375.

Meatiy Miarang (Meaty Miarang, Meatimiarang, Brisbane Island)

1903. Active; focal plane 25 m (82 ft); three white flashes every 29 s. 23 m (75 ft) hexagonal skeletal tower with lantern and gallery, painted white.

Located on a small island at the south end of the reef. Accessible only by boat. Site status unknown. ARLHS IDO-166; Admiralty K1376; NGA 25720.

Maluku Barat Daya (English: Southwest Maluku) Regency is a regency of Maluku province, Indonesia. It comprises a number of islands and island groups in the south of the province, including (runnuing from west to east) Liran Island, Wetar Island, Kisar Island, Romang Island, the Leti Islands, the Damer (or Damar) Islands, the Sermata Islands and the Babar Islands. The administrative centre lies at Tiakur on Moa Island (in the Leti Islands), but the largest town is Wonreli (on Kisar Island).

The tropical island of Wetar belongs to the Indonesian province of Maluku and is the largest island of the Barat Daya Islands (literally Southwest Islands). It lies east of theLesser Sunda Islands, which include nearby Alor and Timor, but it is politically part of the Maluku Islands. To the south, across the Wetar Strait, lies the island of Timor; at its closest it is 50 km away. To the west, across the Ombai Strait, lies the island of Alor. To the southwest is the very small island of Liran, which is also part of Wetardistrict (kecamatan) and, further southwest, the small East Timorese island of Atauro. To the north is the Banda Sea and to the east lie Romang and Damar Islands, while to the southeast lie the other principal islands of the Barat Daya Islands.

Wetar is one of the 92 officially listed outlying islands of Indonesia.

The principal towns on Wetar are Lioppa in the northwest, Ilwaki in the south, Wasiri in the north, Masapun in the east, and Arwala in the northeast. These are connected by roads.

Wetar is 130 km wide east-to-west, and 45 km north-to-south. It has an area of 3600 km2. It is surrounded by coral reefs and deep seas. The highest point on the island is 1412 m.

Wetar is part of a volcanic island arc which includes the other Barat Daya Islands and the Banda Islands, created by the collision of the Indo-Australian Plate and theEurasian Plate. It is not, however, principally of volcanic origin, being instead mainly oceanic crust that has been lifted by the plate collision. The stratovolcano Gunungapi Wetar forms an isolated island to the north of Wetar.[1]

Pulau Liran (Wetar Strait) (2)

2010 (?) (station established 1903). Active; focal plane 85 m (279 ft); four white flashes every 40 s. 40 m (131 ft) square skeletal tower with lantern and gallery, painted white. The lighthouse is near the left edge of Bjørn Grøtting's aerial photo, and Bing has a satellite view of the station. The original lighthouse was a hexagonal skeletal tower with lantern and gallery; the Amsterdam Tropenmuseum has a 1939 photo. This lighthouse is important in guiding ships toward the island of Timor. Located at the southern tip of Liran, a small island off the southwestern tip of the much larger island of Wetar, about 75 km (45 mi) north northeast of Dili, Timor Leste. Site status unknown. ARLHS IDO-357; Admiralty K1372; NGA 25716.

Tanjung Tutunhatoloi (Tutun Hatoloi)

2004. Active; focal plane 90 m (295 ft); white flash every 7 s. 30 m (98 ft) square skeletal tower with gallery, painted white. No photo available, but Google has a satellite view. Located at the northeastern corner of Wetar. Site status unknown. Admiralty K1372.5; NGA 25716.6.

2004. Active; focal plane 90 m (295 ft); white flash every 4.5 s. 30 m (98 ft) square skeletal tower with gallery, painted white. No photo available, but Bing has a satellite view.
