*** About Lighthouse: Lighthouses have served as crucial navigational aids for mariners navigating treacherous waters throughout history. Typically situated on coastlines, at the mouths of rivers, or on islands, these structures emit light from a system of lamps and lenses to guide vessels safely to their destinations, often marking hazardous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, and safe entries to harbors. Over time, automation has phased out the need for manned lighthouses, but these structures still serve as cultural icons and historical landmarks, often celebrated for their architectural uniqueness and the romantic solitude associated with their locations.
