Queen`s Tower - Obelisks

                                               This tower is obelisk, called as Queen`s tower and `Kuvinthavaddy` by local people of Delft Island. It is situated at south-East corner of the Delft. It is believed that it was constructed during the Dutch period. This tower served as a navigational landmark. The tower is believed to have been covered with a reflective surface which could be seen from far at sea. There is a low central chimney-like shaft which creates a vacuum forcing air upwards.
