Lighthouses

 

Ploumanac'h Lighthouse, France

Constructed from the same pink granite rock which lines the coast, Ploumanac'h Lighthouse blends in seamlessly with its surroundings. Situated in the commune of Perros-Guirec, in the Côtes-d'Armor, the lighthouse was first built in 1860, but after being destroyed in the Second World War, it was rebuilt in 1946.

WHY DO THEY CALL THEM LIFTS IN THE UK AND ELEVATORS IN THE US?

Because they’re raised differently.

Lighthouses

 


Eldred Rock Lighthouse, Alaska, USA

Sitting in the middle of the stormy waters of Lynn Canal, Eldred Rock Lighthouse was created after a series of shipwrecks in the late 1800s. The oldest Alaskan lighthouse that still stands, the octagonal-framed, pyramid-roofed building was designed to withstand stormy weather. Backdropped by snow-capped mountains, it’s a remarkable sight.

Lighthouses

 

Start Point Lighthouse, England, UK

South Devon’s chiseled shores make a stunning location for Start Point Lighthouse. Standing on one of the most exposed peninsulas in the UK, which runs for almost a mile (1.6km) into the sea from the southern side of Start Bay, the remote 92-foot (28m) tall tower took 40 men two years to build and was completed in 1836. Today, the charming white building, with its Gothic-style battlemented parapet and cast-iron lantern, is an iconic part of the coastline.

Lighthouses

 

Notre-Dame-des-Anges Lighthouse, France

It’s no wonder that artists including Matisse, André Derain and Georges Braque were inspired to paint the 17th-century Notre-Dame-des-Anges Lighthouse. Looking out over the seaside town of Collioure, the tower was taken out of use as a lighthouse in the late 17th century, but rather than falling into disrepair, it was given a new lease of life as a church. Today, the attractive conical stone tower is a beloved part of the town’s landscape.

Lighthouses

 

Bodie Island Light Station, North Carolina, US

The Bodie Island Light Station that stands today is actually the third lighthouse to grace this spot. The first, built in 1847, was so poorly constructed that it began to lean over just two years after completion, and was torn down in 1859. A second tower was quickly erected but was blown up by Confederate troops in 1861. The current incarnation, built between 1871 and 1872, has a striking black-and-white striped design and it’s one of the few lighthouses that still uses an original Fresnel lens.
