The Lighthouse Keepers
The Lighthouse Keepers are professionals responsible for maintaining and operating lighthouses, which serve as navigational aids for maritime vessels. Their duties include ensuring the light functions properly, monitoring weather conditions, cleaning lenses, and performing repairs to prevent accidents at sea. Historically, they lived on-site, working continuously to ensure the beacon's visibility during night and adverse weather. Today, many lighthouse operations are automated, reducing the need for keepers, but some still maintain the tradition by performing inspections and maintenance to support maritime safety. Their role is crucial in guiding ships safely through challenging coastal waters.
