When visiting the https://www.capetourism.com website the Vernon Chalmers Woodbridge Island Milnerton, Cape Town image is located on the following URL https://www.capetourism.com/western-cape-lighthouses/

The Vernon Chalmers Woodbridge Island image is viewable on the Exploring Lighthouses in the Western Cape page page underneath the Milnerton Lighthouse on the Cape Tourism website.
