Why Northern Coast Lighthouses Still Matter
Along the northern coast, lighthouse towers once guided ships through fog, reefs, and sudden weather shifts that made shoreline travel perilous; today, preserved beacons remain vital records of maritime labor, local memory, and the practical ingenuity that helped coastal communities endure.
Their light has faded from daily navigation, but not from shoreline history.
