Yaquina Head Lighthouse
Ten years ago I had the opportunity to explore the Sturgeon Bay Pierhead Light. Special thanks to the owners for the invitation and the support. The Pierhead light was built in 1882, and the station was built with a tower light in 1899, renovated in 1903, and
automated in 1972. The lower level breakwall is the only section of the grounds that are open to the public.
This little gem is called the Charlotte-Genesee lighthouse and is located in Rochester N.Y. overlooking Lake Ontario and the Genesee River.

The Crimson Lighthouse and the Wave
Seaham Harbour Watcher
Here’s Seaham Lighthouse standing proud at the mouth of the harbour, doing what it’s done for over a century – guiding vessels safely home. The bold black and white stripes are a familiar sight to anyone who knows this stretch of coastline.
Built in the early 1900s, it’s more than just a beacon – it’s part of the town’s industrial heritage and fishing story. On a day like this, with the sea calm and blue, it's easy to forget just how wild it can get out here.

Dondra Head Lighthouse
The Belle Tout Lighthouse is a decommissioned lighthouse and British landmark located at Beachy Head, East Sussex close to the town of Eastbourne.
Built in 1832 . By 1999 the erosion of the cliffs was threatening the foundations of the building and drastic steps had to be taken to stop it from falling into the sea. On 17 March 1999 in a remarkable feat of engineering work the Belle Tout was moved 17 metres (56 ft) away from the cliff face.
The 850-ton lighthouse was moved in one piece, using a pioneering system of hydraulic jacks which pushed the building along four steel-topped concrete beams that were constantly lubricated with grease to prevent it from succumbing to coastal erosion.
Belle Tout was purchased in 2008 and converted into a luxury bed and breakfast.
This is view two of this lighthouse.

The Big Sable Point Light is a lighthouse on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan near Ludington in Mason County, Michigan, at the Ludington State Park. It is an active aid to navigation.
Built in 1867, the 112-foot (34 m) tower was originally made of yellow cream brick. The brick deteriorated and was thereafter covered with boiler plate in 1900.
Construction materials were brought up by ships. The first road to the site was not completed until 1933..Currently, the tower is painted white with a black watch tower and a black band around the middle of the tower. As shown in a historic post card, it was painted red and white at one time; later to become black and white.
The original lens was a third order Fresnel lens. It was removed in 1985, and is now on display at the Rose Hawley Museum at White Pine Village.
After the light was automated, the keeper's house was severely vandalized.
The site is the subject of constant erosion, so that keeping the foundation in place and the water away from undermining it has been a recurrent and expensive battle.

Mew Island Lighthouse, Northern Ireland
Cape Brett Lighthouse, New Zealand.
The location of the lighthouse in the picture is at Cape Brett, Northland, New Zealand. More specifically, the lighthouse is located at the northern tip of the Cape Brett Peninsula (also known as Rākaumangamanga by the Māori), which juts out into the Pacific Ocean at the eastern end of the Bay of Islands. The lighthouse is accessible via the Cape Brett Walkway, a walking trail that begins at Oke Bay near Rāwhiti.
Among the West Coast's first lighthouses, with interactive exhibits & views of the San Diego bay. Old Point Loma Lighthouse.
New Point Loma Lighthouse, San Diego, California: The "new" lighthouse was first lit in 1891.
We saw this lighthouse in 2009 from a boat tour while on a whale watch. We also visited the San Diego zoo. We ate downtown at a great Mexican restaurant.

Fastnet Rock, or simply Fastnet (possibly from Old Norse Hvasstein-ey 'sharp-tooth isle'; called Carraig Aonair, meaning "lonely rock", in Irish) is a small islet in the Atlantic Ocean and the most southerly point of Ireland. It lies 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) southwest of Cape Clear Island and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) from County Cork on the Irish mainland. Fastnet is known as "Ireland's Teardrop", because it was the last part of Ireland that 19th-century Irish emigrants saw as they sailed to North America.
Year first constructed 1854 (first)
Year first lit 1904 (current)
Automated 1989.
Fastnet also gives its name to the sea area .The current lighthouse is the second to be built on the rock and is the tallest in Ireland.
Fastnet Rock is used as the midpoint of one of the world's classic offshore yachting races..
