b'Lighthouses carry a special place in history, and they still are very important today. These were manned by lighthouse keepers who\\u2019s main duty was to watch the light, which historically was a lantern that they had to make sure it burned bright and clean. They also had to ensure that the lights mechanisms stayed operational so it would flash in its own unique distance pattern. During foggy patches and stormy weather, multiple lighthouse keepers would work. One would operate the signals, while the other would operate the light.

Lighthouse keepers would work very long days and nights, because if they didn\\u2019t disaster could strike. It was because of these people that ships would be able to safely go in and out of harbours. These people were the ones who warned ships crew that there were rocky coasts or dangerous shallow waters. They were invaluable, but what if the job was even more dangerous than anyone could have known?
