Lyttelton breakwater east light
in 2011 the two earthquakes partially collapsed the quay and left the lighthouse with a severe lean; the Port Corporation has a photo that shows this lean. Google's satellite view shows the pier after the lighthouse was removed for restoration. The pier was replaced by a new cruise ship pier while the lighthouse was removed to storage. The lighthouse returned when the new pier was completed in November 2020
