Being born on an island and being the son of a light keeper I loved loved island living. It was a wonderful way to spend a childhood.

On the U.S. side of the straight of juan de fuca, there's a Lighthouse called Dungeness Lighthouse. They have a keepers program where you can stay there and take care of the lighthouse while acting as tour guide for visitors (only hikers, depending on weather). My family attempted to do it, but they don't allow kids under 6 years old. So we are holding that one for when kids are older. Looks like an awesome time though.

Very cool. I worked a little while in Victoria and after at least a 12 hour shift I would walk down to the sea every night. It was so engaging and interesting. I wish I could get a job to walk along the coast there.

@allybally0021 6 лет назад

If lighthouses were moved well inland and close to built-up areas then they would: (a) be MUCH cheaper to build. Easier access for materials. (b) provide convenient accomodation for the keepers. (c) provide lighthouse services to the more important city dwellers. I do not seek reward for this breakthrough, but perhaps some kind of recognition would be fitting. You are welcome.

@matildaa9755 4 года назад

you have completely missed the point of a lighthouse - it’s out at sea to guide ships in - if it were inland they wouldn’t see it . Why the hell would city dwellers need a lighthouse genuinely have no idea what they would use it for ?
