*** About Lighthouses: Lighthouses serve as navigational aids for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways. Marking dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, rocks, and safe entries to harbors, lighthouses are pivotal for safe nearshore navigation. Traditionally, they are towers, buildings, or other types of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses. Historically, they were used to signal ports and potential hazards. Today, although many are automated or decommissioned due to advanced navigational technology, lighthouses remain cultural icons and are often preserved as historical landmarks and featured subjects in various forms of art due to their picturesque and symbolically rich nature.:
