In Russia we don't have architect who was specially built lighthouses. I think father of lighthouse services could be called Peter I who introduced russian fleet and as the result the huge construction of lighthouses around the coastlines.

I have no experience about German lighthouse history. I suppose, there is no father of German lighthouses. A pretty short history about lighthouses you can find by https://www.leuchttuerme.net (https://www.leuchttuerme.net). , but you have to translate! ;)

Are you anything like an expert on Korean lights, fluorite?

I have a list of optics installed by Chance Brothers between 1905-1909 and I cannot identify the present-day names of at least ten of them. The names I have correspond with those listed by Reginald Harding in a report he wrote for the Korean Lighthouse Board, so they weren't just Chance nicknames!
