People love lighthouses. Whether it is
the lifesaving nature of their work, the isolation, the bells, the
height, or a combination of all of them, there is a steady stream of
visitors to lighthouses wherever they are. We've provided
information about many of them, with links to those concerned with their
preservation. If you know of more, pass the word by
e-mail to us, please |
