Introduction

Why these lights still matter along the northern coast

Each preserved lighthouse is both a navigation instrument and a local record of weather, labor, and coastal change. This archive gathers photographs, keeper accounts, and documented tower notes so visitors can read these structures as living historical evidence.

The paths below lead into the timeline of construction and preservation, the human stories of keepers, and a practical map of surviving towers.
