The project was carried out under Alexander Gibb, civil engineer to the Admiralty; design by George Moore; constructed by a company of the Royal Engineers, Shoreham. The only tower finished at the end of the war was modified and used to replace the Nab Lightship at the eastern entrance to The Solent, placed in September 1920.
