Lighthouses
A lighthouse is a structure used to house a light source that acts as an aid to navigation for those at sea. It can also use a sound source for warning. They are also used to warn of dangerous coastlines, reefs, and other hazards, while indicating safe entries to harbors. Most remaining lighthouses are automatic rather than being manned. Questions should relate directly to all aspects regarding lighthouses, including their use and history.
