Lighthouses in the US

Location of lighthouses in the US. What do you notice about them Location of lighthouses in the US. What do you notice about them? Where are they located? Why?

What are lighthouses used for? 1. Warn sailors of a dangerous spot on land- rocks and cliffs. 2. Guide ships into harbors Port Isabel Lighthouse Texas

Why don’t we see many lighthouses in Texas? Bolivar Point Lighthouse 2009- Hit by hurricane Ike and no longer in use

Lydia Ann lighthouse 2007 What do you notice about the land surrounding the Lydia Ann lighthouse above, and the Bolivar Point lighthouses we saw previously?

These are lighthouses from the East Coast Boston Light on Brewster Island

Portland Head Light

Whaleback Lighthouse, NH How is the terrain/environment different for the lighthouses in Texas compared to the East coast? Whaleback Lighthouse, NH Lydia Ann, TX

There’s not a lot of rough coastline on the Gulf of Mexico, so there wasn’t a need for many lighthouses to light the way for ships. Hurricanes have recently caused the destruction of several lighthouses in Texas. There are only 5 lighthouses remaining, but only 2 are used.
