Isn't this Waglan Island, not Green Island?

The shape certainly looks like the Waglan Island lighthouse. HK discovery did an article on the various lighthouses a few months ago.

Green Island has two: the older one being a smaller brick stone structure that stands immediately next to the later addition. Neither of which look like the one in the postcard above.

I have this Postcard.  It says Waglan on the Back.

Unfortunatley, the postcard that was submitted did not say Waglan. Then Waglan it is. Will amend the location. Thanks!
