*** About Lighthouses: Lighthouses have been pivotal in ensuring the safety of mariners navigating close to shorelines or treacherous waters. These iconic structures, often located on prominent headlands or isolated, rocky outcrops, serve as navigational aids, helping to warn of dangerous areas and guide vessels to port. The lighthouse in Halifax, a historic city known for its rich maritime heritage, exemplifies this critical role. Traditionally built to be highly durable, they are equipped with powerful lights and sometimes additional auditory signals like foghorns, especially crucial in poor visibility conditions such as fog or storms.
