When the second lighthouse to stand on the site was destroyed by fire in 1755, a third was designed and built by a civil engineer, John Smeaton. His ingenious and influential structure became the model for all subsequent rock lighthouses. Two models were made for Smeaton's lighthouse. The first, a sectional model, can be taken apart in sections to reveal the lighthouse's internal construction and arrangement Read More Go to Site Commissioners of Irish Lights Votes:0 Search the CIL website: Lord Mayor takes his place on the Board of the Commissioners of Irish Lights July 30 2007 CIL AIS News - Issue 4 - June 2007 June 25 2007 GLAs award 15 year eLoran contract to VT Communications May 31 2007 GLAs Launch their Radio Navigation Plan May 29 2007 In Salutem Omnium is the motto of the Commissioners of Irish Lights.

Why is it that so many people are drawn to lighthouses? Perhaps it is that they are now a tradition which is quickly vanishing from our society in this age of technology. I lived at a lighthouse for over twelve years, until the government fully automated it and gave my huband the "golden handshake", early retirement, after serving for thirty-two years as a keeper at four lighthouses on the east coast of Canada in the Bay of Fundy. ??????? There is really something special about living at a lighthouse. There are no near neighbours. There is a large beam of light that swings in through your bedroom window all night long every night. There is a loud screaming noise of the foghorn for hours and days on end in the summer, until after awhi Read More Go to Site Henning Jensen?s lighthouse pages. Votes:0 Svenska tack.

The houses sit facing the dark waters of Tokarevsky Cape, where a lone white lighthouse has stood since 1910. Vasily Ivanovich Ilchenko walks along the narrow path leading from the houses through the garden rows, his shoulders hunched and his hands stuck into the pockets of his gray pants. He walks out the wooden gate surrounding the plot of land, pauses to light a cigarette, and starts down the narrow, curving path that leads out into the water toward the lighthouse. "T his strip is called the 'cat's tail,'" he says. "It's a natural path out in Read More Go to Site Lighthouses Votes:0 Fleetwood is unique because it is the only town in the United Kingdom to possess three lighthouses. Two are actually located within the town itself, and are still fully operational. The third - Wyre Light - is unique since it was the first screw pile lighthouse to be built and lit in Great Britain. The Lower Lighthouse was designed in 1840 by Sir Decimus Burton, the architect responsible for much of early Fleetwood. The light from the Lower Lighthouse is 30 feet above the watermark and can be seen for 9 miles The Upper Lighthouse , usually referred to as the Pharos Lighthouse (after the wonder of the Ancient World), was also built in 1840. There are 107 steps and a 10 foot ladder to the top. The Upper Lighthouse is 90 feet above the high water mark and visible for 13 miles .
