There's something special about lighthouses. A beacon means hope...a light in the darkest night...a guiding light. A symbol that goes beyond shipping. Thank you for this video 🌹⚓
WOW, I have always taken them for granted, knowing nothing of their history. I have seen and identified Many lighthouses during my travels on a sailboat, in the 1990's. We had gps, but I always liked to check. Thank you very, very much for making this.
Sadly, this video did not include a visit to Fastnet. The automation of these extraordinary and beautiful structures was, in my opinion, one of the saddest events of recent history. Rather than celebrate the story of the lighthouse, Trinity House has callously closed them off to public view, as if people should simply forget they ever existed. Very sad.
the sheer will of Kavanagh has to be acknowledged. incredible. rare then, even rarer today

It's a lovely documentary indeed. As a child, I and many others wanted to live in a lighthouse? At 73, I think it's a bit late now 😂

That electric arc would be producing ozone like there was no tomorrow!!!!
13:30 Don’t want to use the same thickness?
fantastic 22:23
Came for lighthouses but got so much more lol 😅
Muy interesante
Come on swing that hammer. The granite was easily twice the thickness
A 'two meter sway' at the top of the lighthouse?? Did he misspeak? I've no idea but that is very hard to believe and astounding if true.
15:47 2M OF SWAY no way man BS, go do your home work again...
What about a tribute to Nickola Tesla true genius for our current power system we know ad love today.
The granite was twice as thick as the sandstone. Also, I think you were hitting the sandstone a bit harder!!!
