Would the number of shipwrecks have been less if there were more lighthouses or fog horns?

I think that the best way to answer this is to say that most shipwrecks have been caused by poor situational awareness and poor navigation.
For example, when the ship's position is thought to be one place, but it is actually another, and no one on the ship notices the error, the ship can run aground...things like that.
With the advent of GPS and better charts, shipwrecks have decreased in frequency, but...nothing out there replaces and experienced person in charge of the ship or boat, that knows what to do.

Where does lighthouses exist?
Anywhere around water. They're main purpose is to warn boats and floating transportation that they are near land and that they need to be careful. Other places are in places that get foggy very easily. Some lighthouses have fog horns that sound when very foggy. That clears the fog away so boaters can see or sometimes even pedestrians or drivers.
