By the 1950s, shipping around Cape du Couedic had decreased significantly, with most vessels using the [[Backstairs Passage]] and [[Investigator Strait]], so Cape du Couedic was automated and de-manned in 1957. The First Order lens, complete with mercury float pedestal, was removed and replaced by a Third Order fixed lens, lit by [[acetylene gas]].[ The cottages were transferred to the [[South Australian Government]] and incorporated into the [[Flinders Chase National Park]].] |
