LIGHTHOUSES OF THE WORLD.

Not had I - I used an online translation and didn't look over it afterwards. My bad.

Instead, it's tax horsepower, like in the "2CV" in France.

The "Tidal Observatory" at Newlyn has got listed status in the UK



It's not a lighthouse

any picturesque lights around the margins of the Baltic? say between Poland and Denmark?

There certainly are!
Interesting and perhaps picturesque as well is the lighthouse in Sopot (south of Gdynia, Poland), the "Latarnia Morska Sopot"



Initially it was built as a viewing tower and to detract from and obscure the unsightly chimney of the boiler room of the Balneological Institute.

Lights were only installed in the lighthouse after the end of World War II at the time when the destroyed city was partially rebuilt. It is not known exactly when the first lights came on at the top of the tower but it definitely figured in the list of lighthouses compiled in 1957. Because of its short range (5 nautical miles) it was difficult to consider it as a lighthouse in the true sense. It only achieved this status in 1977 when a light was mounted which gave it a range of 17 nautical miles (Seems, nowadays only 7 nm the text is copied from the town's brochure http://sts.sopot.pl/sopot_en/media/59ae7143c3bc6.pdf )

neat. I love those styles of lights.

this is my favorite lighthouse along the bay of Fundy. Its the West Quoddy head and Its the one of the mainland that we would see first when coming in from the Gulf of Maine>Grand Manaan points of light are mostly aligned spars and occulting range lights. This is the first real light from the Ocean.

The highest lighthouse on the Baltic Sea, and the highest brick lighthouse in the world: Swinemünde lighthouse ("Latarnia Morska Swinoujscie")



Some history of this lighthouse on a private website >in English here<

Intriguing lighthouses, the narrator with his odd reading pattern... not so much.

Hes got a Peewee Herman thing going.

Interesting story, they need a better narrator. Maybe me. I have a radio voice like Bill Curtis

Bill Curtis is wonderful in MCing Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. You're aiming pretty high in that comparison.

Unfortunately, I think the narrator is the one who owns and produces that channel. Not sure I'll subscribe to it for future videos. Plus the video editing is a tad ... overly pretentious with the guy mugging for the camera way too much.

Ill stick with the Pee Wee Herman sobriquet

The Great Tower Neuwerk is the most significant building of the Neuwerk island, belonging to Hamburg. Completed in 1310, the structure is one of the oldest worldwide that was used as lighthouse (1814–2014) and still standing. This former beacon, watchtower and lighthouse is also the oldest building in Hamburg and oldest secular building on the German coast.

Although belonging to Hamburg, the lighthouse was operated by the Wasser- und Schifffahrtsamt Cuxhaven, which is responsible for the Elbe estuary. As the lighthouse was non-essential for shipping it was decommissioned on January 1, 2014 and turned over to the Hamburg Port Authority. On February 10, 2014 it was officially shut down after almost 200 years in operation and continues as a "private light" under the authority of Hamburg.The original light characteristic "Blk. (3) w. r. gn. 20 s 16–11 sm" was switched to a steady white lamp with a reach of barely 3 nautical miles


Some perhaps interesting information about the island:
At low tide, the island is reached by horse carriages




The voluntary fire brigade Neuwerk belongs to the fire brigade Hamburg and works self-sufficiently as a small unit with nine fire brigade members. It is made up of seven men and two women who work on the island of Neuwerk with its 36 inhabitants, which belongs to the Hamburg district of Neuwerk. A special feature of the Neuwerk volunteer fire brigade is the wide range of equipment and the large number of vehicles in relation to the size of the team.

how did you show a lights occulting patterns on your charts ? Im not sure I understand your notation from the last light.

Walter, That's a great picture of the lighthouse. Also, I found this on the net, and you may wish to inform them about the age of "this" one. Image result for oldest lighthouse in the worldwww.thejournal.ie

You mean the frequencies, colours etc?

I guess both, but mostly frequencies

The light today is just a "F" with the sign for a light



"Tegeler Platte" lighthouse ( Outer Weser waterway) Oc (3) WRG 12s [(1)+2+(1)+2+(1)+5]

I guess Im not being too clear. Ill try to interpret the Tegeler Patte light



I read that as Occulting---[3 color} , WHITE, RED, GREEN, [occculting on a 12 second cycle) , then 1 sec 2 sec, 1 sec, 2 sec 1 sec, and 5 sec].

Is that correct?.

It's a long time ago since I'd learnt that at the naval college and used it in practise.
But to all what a know, your response would get an A+.

Speaking about the light characteristics: during the time I'd been on the naval college (actually called in those "Navy Operations School", as a conscript, I got just a three months course in navigation), we went for a week on practise, on a school ship (tender). I wasn't bad at all recognising the various types of lights correctly. (But don't ask about the position I'd got with the sextant!)
My first 'real' trip was to France. On the way there, there was a strong warning for navigators to watch for the lights correctly: a Swedish patrol boat in (!) the beach of Borkum island.
Those lights on the coast of Normandy and Britanny can be quite confusing if you aren't well trained.
A good example is on the online webcam towards Pointe du Raz lighthouse, with more interesting lights to be seen at night (French time is GMT + 1)
