Longships Lighthouse, Granite lighthouse at Land's End, England
The Longships Lighthouse stands 35 meters tall on Carn Bras islet, located 2 kilometers from the Cornwall coast in southwestern England.
Trinity House commissioned the construction of this granite structure in 1869 to replace the original 1795 lighthouse, completing the project in December 1873.
The maritime navigational structure represents Cornwall's nautical legacy through generations of lighthouse keepers who maintained its safety functions until 1988.
The lighthouse emits white flashes every ten seconds, reaching a visibility range of 15 nautical miles, with red sectors indicating specific navigational hazards.
Engineers repurposed equipment from the Wolf Rock lighthouse project to construct this tower, which now operates entirely on solar power since 2005.
