4. The Skelligs Lighthouses Detailed, illustrated history and description of the two lighthouses built in 1826, one now derelict. http://www.skelligsrock.com/lighthouse.htm

Home FAQ Skellig History Skellig Wildlife ... Links Skellig lighthouse is one of the main sea lights off the south west coast and is located on the outer and larger of the Skellig rocks; eight miles (12.8km) from the nearest mainland point, north east of Puffin Island. Compared with the monastery the lighthouse presence is comparatively short (1826) nevertheless its history, in its own way, just as fascinating. Early in 1816 Maurice Fitzgerald, Knight of Kerry, reminded the Corporation preserving and improving the port of Dublin that over twenty years previously the grand jury of the county of Kerry had looked for a lighthouse on Bray Head, Valentia Island, which had been agreed but suspended until the opinion of Trinity House had been taken. Fitzgerald also reminded the Board of two merchant ship casualties in Dingle and Ballinskelligs bays both for the want of a light between Loop Head and Cape Clear Island. Mr Fitzgerald was informed that the subject would be looked into. Eighteen months later Inspector of lighthouses George Halpin made his report to the Board in which he recommended Great Skellig rock instead of Bray Head as the best position for two lighthouses. His reason for two lights was so as not to be confused with the fixed light on Cape Clear Island to the south. The Board agreed and Trinity House were informed, who at first queried the size of Great Skellig before giving sanction in November 1820.

7. Remarkable Estonian Lighthouses Photos with brief descriptions of the lighthouses and their uniqueness. http://www.ekta.ee/html/6lighthouses.htm

Department of Navigation Systems 6 Remarkable Estonian Lighthouses 100 of the historically most important lighthouses throughout the world have been selected by the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) for preservation. Three Estonian lighthouses are on this list! Why did preservation of the old lighthouses became actual? - Modern automation - There are no resident staffs any more - The lighthouses tend to deteriorate quickly Kõpu (Dagerort) The first Estonian lighthouse, finished in 1531. During the centuries, on the dark half of the year open fire was kept on the top of it's stone tower to provide light signals to the navigators. Keri First built during the reign of the Russian Zar Peter the Great among the first lighthouses rounding the Finnish gulf (1719), modernized in 1858.

8. Lighthouses Of Southwestern Estonia A comprehensive list of Estonian lighthouses including descriptions, history and photos. http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/est.htm

Lighthouses of Southwestern Estonia Estonia's independence is recent. The country was part of the Swedisn Empire from 1625 to 1710, and then part of the Russian Empire from 1710 until the end of World War I in 1918. After two decades of independence, it was incorporated into the Soviet Union from 1940 to 1990. Thus the older lighthouses are from the Russian Imperial period, and some of the newer ones are of Soviet construction. An example from the imperial period appears at right: the Vormsi lighthouse, prefabricated in Lithuania in 1871. Lighthouses in Estonia are operated by the Estonian Maritime Administration . In Estonian, a lighthouse is a tuletorn (fire tower) or a majakas ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights . EMA numbers are from the web site of the Estonian Maritime Administration. Admiralty numbers are from volume C of the . U.S. NGA List numbers are from Publication 116.

14. Anatomy Of A Lighthouse Information on materials, lantern room and optics, with cut-away diagram of lighthouse side view. http://www.seathelights.com/other/anatomy.html

Anatomy of a Lighthouse Certainly the most important aspect of the lighthouse to the mariner is the light that emanates from the tower. Many people have remarked "oh what a beautiful light!" (when they meant tower or lighthouse), sometimes people say that such and such a station has a beautiful light made in France (when they are really talking about the lens). As long as we are going to discuss lighthouses, lets use the correct terms. The lantern room is that portion of the top of a lighthouse tower that encloses the lens. Often the lantern room or lantern (in the old days it was called LANTHORN) is a metal and glass room that surmounts a brick, masonry, or wooden tower. Usually it was constructed by a manufacturer and transported , in sections, to the site of the lighthouse where it was assembled on the top of the finished tower. The lantern is comprised of three parts. The lower SERVICE ROOM - location of the clockworks (for rotating optics), fuel tanks , and vents. It was in the SERVICE ROOM that the keeper cleaned the lamp chimneys and prepared the lantern for the coming night. Optic Section (minus the optic) from the Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse in New York Visible are the Storm Panes , the Astragals , and the Handholds The next part of the lantern might be called the OPTIC SECTION – this is the area surrounded by glass windows called storm panes. The storm panes are set in metal frames. The vertical members are called astragals. Sometimes, more often in British lighthouses, the astragals were diagonal. Hand holds were installed on the exterior side of the astragals for the keeper to grip while standing on a ladder, cleaning the exterior sides of the storm panes. The interior portion of the horizontal part of the frame were concave to catch any condensation that formed on the interior face of the lantern panes. The OPTIC SECTION also contained the heart of the lighthouse, the optic or lens. For many, many years the "optic" section was open to the elements (no glass storm panes) and was the area where an open fire burned.

15. Bahama And Bahamian Lighthouses And Abaco Lighthouses In History - Their History Article that describes the history of lighthouse building and preservation in the Bahamas. http://go-abacos.com/news/whatson/whatson_lighth.html

News of The Abacos The Bahamian Lighthouse... Its Place In Abaco History and Current Preservation Efforts (This article is actually being used in the Illinois school system as an "Official" reference source!) Lighthouses Hannah Solo and Neil Aberle While sailors love lighthouses, at times in the past shore dwellers have not. And governments trying to save money often feel that automation of human tasks is an economical move. So the present status of lighthouses in the Bahamas as beloved historical monuments was not always assured. The struggles to build, maintain, restore and preserve them have been going on, in some cases, for more than a century. The Bahamas Lighthouse Preservation Society, under the leadership of David Gale, has provided us with some insights into the colorful history of the fight to build and maintain lighthouses in the Bahamas. Who could hate a lighthouse? Years ago Bahamians, especially Abaconians, felt a strong and guiltless enmity towards lighthouses. According to David Gale, "their animosity began in 1836 when the first two major lighthouses were built in the Bahamas, one on the southern tip of Great Abaco Island at Hole-in-the-Wall and the other at Gun Cay just south of Bimini. Concerned shipping interests had implored England to improve navigation aids in her colonies because of the increasing number of ships that were leaving their bones there. "However, because many Abaconians made a good living from salvaging (then know as 'wracking') the unfortunate ships that ended their sailing days on the dangerous shoals of this low archipelago of reefs, rocks, cays and white beaches, navigation aids were no friends of the 'wrackers.'

16. Lighthouses Of Cuba Data and statistics on lights in Cuba, with some photos. http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/cub.htm

Lighthouses of Cuba Cuba was a Spanish colony until it was conquered by the U.S. in 1898; the U.S. occupation ended officially in 1902. Nineteenth century Cuban lighthouses therefore have Spanish designs, similar to those used in Puerto Rico and the Philippines Due to the longstanding political difficulties between Cuba and the U.S., American tourists have had practically no access to these lighthouses for the past 50 years. Most of the information available on the Internet has been posted by European or Canadian visitors or by Cuban tourist agencies. Most Cuban lighthouses are not automated, so keepers are on site at most locations. Some of the stations are staffed by civilian keepers, but others are tightly restricted military posts. In general, the information on the Internet indicates that the major lighthouses, at least, are well maintained. More information is needed on these lighthouses. If you have information or photos you are willing to share, please contact me.
