National Lighthouse Day, the observance of light on August 7th annually, honors the beacon of light that has for hundreds of years represented safety and protection for ships and boats at sea. The beacon of light could be found on virtually all of America's shorelines at one time.
A lighthouse is described as a tower, building, or other similar structure that is intended to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and be used as an aid to navigation for maritime pilots on sea or inland waterways.
A lighthouse can be used for a variety of tasks, including identifying hazardous coastlines, explosive shoals, and reefs providing safe access to harbors. They also provide aerial assistance. They're now brilliantly lit by electric or oil-fueled lamps, having been ignited by open fire and candles. However, the number of lighthouses is decreasing, although the number of lighthouses are decreasing. Maintenance is costly, and new electrical navigation services are being installed.
