Lighthouses have been around for Centuries many we know about but have been destroyed by war or acts of God, like earthquakes. Lighthouse were first fires to show where the ports were located then these fires were raised higher by stone or on hills. Then they were built by men such as the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt or the Tower of Hercules built sometime before 417 B.C. in Spain and is still standing. One Lighthouse at Dover Castle stands today built by Romans as early as 50 to 80 A.D. Newer Lighthouses were built to help find ports but also to show dangerous coastlines shoals and reefs. In the 18th Century Lighthouse building started to boom from transatlantic sailing getting more active. From there things began to change from how to build and what oils worked best for lighting. Then the optics got better with the Argand Lamp making a bright light. The first electric Lighthouse was made in 1875. From there on they were built or rebuilt until about the 1960’s when technology caught up with them and many were abandoned for less expensive ways to navigate. However, people did not want to forget their history and started the (see the links below) World Lighthouse Society and The United States Lighthouse Society.
