Eddystone Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Eddystone Rocks, England.
The stone lighthouse rises 49 meters above the submerged rocks, featuring a cylindrical tower topped with a lantern and helipad.
James Nicholas Douglass completed the fourth and current lighthouse in 1882, following three previous structures destroyed by natural elements since 1698.
The lighthouse earned recognition as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark for its structural design and contribution to maritime navigation methods.
The automated light system flashes twice every ten seconds with a range of 17 nautical miles, guiding vessels through the English Channel.
Solar panels power the entire lighthouse operations since 1999, making it an early adopter of renewable energy in maritime navigation.
