  • Boston’s iconic lighthouse, the Boston Light, is managed by a single person: Sally Snowman. She is the 70th keeper of the lighthouse since it was built, over 300 years ago.

      Its not for everyone.
      Also, not every light house is the same.
      Some are prone to drive its keeper into madness.

      O I think there's be plenty of stress if she was to for some reason not be able to get the light on right before a night time storm, with knowledge that ships are coming in!
      I'd be stressing then!

    America's oldest lighthouse is the Barra Lighthouse (Farol da Barra), located in the city of Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil. First built in 1698, and rebuilt in 1839. This is the oldest in the United States of America.

    Lighthouses should be kept and should not be demolished.
    Theres always a chance that our gps fail to function or our entire internet network shut down or destroyed due to war or meteor or solar flare, etc etc.
    At any rate, they should be kept, and they should be able to function without outside electricity.
    Just in case....
