Line
Lighthouses are towers with strong lights that help mariners plot their position, inform them
that land is near, and warn them of dangerous rocks and reefs. They are placed at prominent
points on the coast and on islands, reefs, and sandbars.
Every lighthouse has a distinctive pattern of light known as its characteristic. There are five
5 basic characteristics: fixed, flashing, occulting, group flashing, and group occulting. A fixed
signal is a steady beam. A flashing signal has periods of darkness longer than periods of light,
while an occulting signals periods of light are longer. A group-flashing light gives off two ore
more flashes at regular intervals, and a group-occulting signal consists of a fix light with two or
more periods of darkness at regular intervals. Some lighthouses use lights of different colors as
1 well, and today, most lighthouses are also equipped with radio beacons. The three types of
0
apparatus used to produce the signals are the catoptric, in which metal is used to reflect the light;
the dioptric, in which glass is used, and the catadioptric, in which both glass and metal are used.
In the daytime, lighthouses can usually be identified by their structure alone. The most typical
structure is a tower tapering at the top, but some, such as the Bastion Lighthouse on the Saint
Lawrence River, are shaped like pyramids, and others, such as the Race Rock Light, look like
1 wooden houses sitting on high platforms. Still others, such as the American Shoal Lighthouse off
5
the Florida Coast, are skeletal towers of steel. Where lighthouses might be confused in daylight,
they can be distinguished by day-marker patterns designs of checks and stripes painted in vivid
