Lighthouses of the world

There are over 20,000 functioning ligIhthouses around the world. I have seen about 75 of them  over the years. 

Many of them on the Pacific coast and the Great Lakes 

Sorry it took so long to set up this next topic!

Marblehead Lighthouse in Marblehead, Ohio. The oldest Lighthouse in continuous operation on the Great Lakes. The lighthouse was constructed of native limestone in 7 weeks. It was first lit in 1822. There have been 15 Keepers of the lighthouse, including two women. The lighthouse is now maintained by US Coast Guard Station Marblehead. From dusk to dawn, it flashes a green light every 6 seconds. From Memorial Day until Labor Day, the lighthouse is open from 1200 noon until 400pm. Climb the 77 steps to the top for spectacular views of the Lake Erie Islands.

The Round Island Light, also known as the Old Round Island Point Lighthouse, is a lighthouse located on the west shore of Round Island in the shipping lanes of the Straits of Mackinac, which connect Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It was deemed necessary because the island is a significant hazard to navigation in the straits, and was seen as an effective complement to the other lights in the area.Because of its color scheme and form โ€” red stone base and wood tower โ€” it has been likened to an old-fashioned schoolhouse.

Fairport Harbor Light, OH on Lake Erie dates from 1871 and replaced an earlier lighthouse established nearby in 1825. Since 1945 it has served as the Fairport Harbor Marine Museum and Lighthouse, and we highly recommend a visit. - Photo courtesy of Fairport Harbor Marine Museum and Lighthouse.
