*** About Lighthouses: Lighthouses have served as navigational aids for mariners for centuries, guiding them safely to shore and alerting them of dangerous coastlines. The typical structure includes a tower with a lantern room atop, where a powerful light operates, usually enhanced by a system of lenses and prisms to increase visibility. Historically, lighthouses were often manned by keepers who lived in adjacent houses, maintaining the light against all odds. Today, many lighthouses have been automated, but they remain emblematic of safe passage and steadfastness, and are cherished as historical monuments and popular scenic attractions.:
