О книге

Excerpt from The Story of Our Lighthouses and Lightships: Descriptive and Historical

Popularly, the lighthouse seems to be looked upon as a modern invention, - and if we consider it in its present form, completeness, and efficiency, we shall be justified in limiting its history to the last two centuries; but as soon as men began to go down to the sea in ships, they must also have begun to experience the need of beacons to guide them into secure channels, and warn them from hidden dangers, and the pressure of this need would be stronger in the night even than in the day. So soon as a want is strongly felt, man"s invention hastens to supply it; and we may be sure, therefore, that in the very earliest ages of civilization lights of some kind or other were introduced for the benefit of the mariner.
