Lighthouses are buildings that are located along the coast that send a signal of light as a navigation aid for ships. They warn of rocks or cliffs which can be hazardous for ships.
"An aid for navigation and pilotage at sea, a lighthouse is a tower building or framework sending out light from a system of lamps and lenses or, in older times, from a fire. Lighthouses also provide coordinate location for small aircrafts travelling at night. More primitive navigational aids were once used such as a fire on top of a hill or cliff (see beacon)."
