Lighthouse keeping

Lighthouse keeping refers to the maintenance and operation of lighthouses, which are vital for maritime navigation. Lighthouse keepers ensure that the light signals are functioning properly and maintain the structure and equipment. They often carried out daily inspections, refueled lights, and monitored weather conditions to aid safe passage for ships. With advancements in technology, the role has become less common, as many lighthouses are now automated. Nonetheless, lighthouse keepers played a crucial role in preventing maritime accidents and assisting sailors in identifying safe routes along coastlines.
