    “Lighthouse Preservation in Atlantic Coast Canada” The lighthouses off the Atlantic coast of Canada are not able to shine like they are supposed to. Since 280 B.C. lighthouses have been very beneficial to humans (Sylvester.) Although they are not as frequently used now, they once were very helpful to humans while traveling any body of water.

    Written descriptions and drawings of the Pharoe of Alexandria provide information about lighthouses, but the tower itself collapsed during an earthquake many centuries after its construction in the 3rd century BC by the Greeks. While the evidence provides insight into the exterior structure of these buildings, there are many gaps in evidence concerning less visible aspects. Locally available fuels will have included wood and probably coal to keep a fire going continuously during the night, and there

    much brighter. These people who have seen darkness and who shine so bright because of it are a guide for those who may be waiting in the darkness. Like a lighthouse does for ships at night or like the stars and moon do for travelers. Without darkness, there would be no need for guidance or change. There would be no point in having stars, lighthouses, or unique bright people. Take the life of Jesus for example, this man was born in a manger surrounded by dirty animals. He never sinned a day in his life

    shallow one. Fixed into place by a mushroom-shaped anchor, these small ships (rarely above 50 tons) would initially use large lanterns affixed atop the main mast. Their main advantage is that they could be placed in areas where it was impossible for lighthouses to act as efficient seamarks. Their main disadvantage, especially the early ones, is that turbulent waters could slightly shift the anchor and thus the ship’s positioning (Talbot 1913, pp. 241–42). In the worst-case scenario, the chains could snap
