💡 On 14 September 1716, Boston Light was first 💡 On 14 September 1716, Boston Light was first lit on Little Brewster Island in Boston Harbour, Massachusetts.  This made it the first lighthouse established in what became the United States 🌊

The original tower was destroyed during the American Revolution in 1776, but a new tower was built in 1783. The lighthouse that stands today was later raised in height in 1856 and continues to operate as an aid to navigation. 💡

Boston Light has seen more than 300 years of maritime history.

📸 Do you have a favourite photo or memory of Boston Light?

🌊 Fanad Head Lighthouse – 140 Years 1 Septe 🌊 Fanad Head Lighthouse – 140 Years 

1 September 1886 saw the present Fanad Head Lighthouse in County Donegal first show its light — 140 years ago today.

The first Fanad Head lighthouse was built to the designs of George Halpin Snr and first lit in 1817. By the 1880s, a taller tower was needed to improve the light’s visibility, so the present lighthouse was built nearby, designed by William Douglass.

First lit on 1 September 1886, it has continued to guide ships into Lough Swilly for 140 years.

💡 140 years of keeping watch over the Donegal coast.

🚢✨ On 21st June, the historic Norwegian vesse 🚢✨ On 21st June, the historic Norwegian vessel M/S Gamle Oksøy will arrive in Lowestoft and will be open to the public for visits, offering a rare opportunity to step aboard a true working piece of lighthouse heritage ✨🚢

🌍 This visit forms part of the European Route of Lighthouses  a growing international community dedicated to sharing lighthouse history, maritime culture, and cross-border collaboration. The route aims to preserve lighthouse heritage, explore sustainable futures for these iconic sites, and inspire people to travel and experience lighthouses across Europe.

⚓ Gamle Oksøy was built in 1962 in Haugesund, Norway, serving the Norwegian Coastal Administration as a lighthouse supply and maintenance vessel, delivering fuel and supporting navigation aids along the coast until 1996.  Today, she has been transformed into a floating museum and cultural platform, showcasing Norway’s rich maritime and lighthouse heritage.

🧭 During her visit to Lowestoft, visitors can explore onboard exhibitions, attend talks, and take part in shore-based activities celebrating lighthouse culture and maritime history.
