Description
A lighthouse is a tall, tower-like structure built primarily to guide ships at sea, serving as a literal compass of the sea. Positioned strategically along coastlines, lighthouses emit a powerful source of light, usually through a rotating lens or beacon, that can be seen from far distances. Their purpose is to warn sailors of potential hazards, such as rocky shores or reefs, and to help them navigate safely to their destinations. Lighthouses often possess distinct physical characteristics, with their iconic white or colorful exteriors and signature patterns or stripes, making them easily recognizable landmarks. Guiding vessels through darkness or poor weather conditions, lighthouses symbolize safety, hope, and protection for those at sea, representing both a practical navigational tool and a symbol of maritime folklore and history.
