Before lighthouses were built, coastal navigation was perilous and highly dependent on natural landmarks and celestial navigation. Mariners faced significant risks from hidden reefs, rocks, and treacherous shorelines, leading to frequent shipwrecks and loss of life. Without the guiding light of lighthouses, sailors relied on local knowledge and experience, which varied widely. As a result, many ships struggled to safely enter harbors, especially during poor visibility or stormy conditions.
