	Lighthouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lighthouses are used to mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals away from the coast, and safe entries to harbors.
		In very old lighthouses, the light source was a kerosene lamp, and the lenses were rotated by a clockwork assembly wound by lighthouse keepers, sometimes as often as every two hours.
		Its design enables the construction of lenses of large size and short focal length without the weight and volume of material which would be required in a lens of conventional design.

	Lighthouse Design and Equipment
		The preferred foundation for masonry lighthouses was bedrock but a method using wooden piles driven into the substrate and topped with timbers and/or rubble-stone had to be used in regions, such as the coastal plain, where bedrock was lacking.
		Masonry walls of lighthouses are typically several feet thick at the base and decrease in thickness upward, with heights ranging from 30 feet at Piney Point Lighthouse (1836), Maryland, to the tallest lighthouse in the United States, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (1870), North Carolina, at 197 feet.
		lighthouse type used a large cast-iron cylinder, which was sunk on the bottom and filled with rock and concrete to form a foundation.

	Light House Evolution and Typology
		Lighthouse administration had become too large to remain a direct responsibility of the Secretary of the Treasury and was assigned to the Fifth Auditor.
		The screw-pile structure had revolutionized lighthouses in the bays and sounds of southern waters; however, this technology was not applicable in northern waters due to the screw-pile’s vulnerability to swift currents and ice.
		The breakwater lighthouse had to be relatively light in order to avoid stress on the foundation; the structure had to be strong in order to withstand the impact of the waves and vibrations; and the lighthouse had to be compact because of the limited space available for the structure.

		Later designs incorporated a bull's eye design into the center of the lens shaped like a magnifying glass, so the concentrated beam was even more powerful.
