Lighthouses Around The World
|
French merchant navy officer Marius Michel Pasha built a hundred of lighthouses along the coasts of the Ottoman Empire in a period of twenty years after the Crimean War (1853–1856).
Maintenance
In the United States, lighthouses are maintained by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). Those in England and Wales are looked after by Trinity House; in Scotland, by the Northern Lighthouse Board; and in Ireland by the Commissioners of Irish Lights. In Canada, they are managed by the Canadian Coast Guard. In Australia, lighthouses are conducted by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
