General Discussion / Lighthouses with two laterns

Last post by Bergwind - February 16, 2025, 08:38:22 AM

The Strait of Messina is certainly a busy sea waterway. This may be one of the reasons why such extraordinary lighthouses are located here - lighthouses with two laterns.
Capo Peloro, E1806 (black/white) and opposite Punta Pezzo, E1770 (red/white)
I can't remember ever having seen lighthouses with two laterns before.

General Discussion / London / Thames Tidal Barrier

Last post by Bergwind - January 23, 2025, 08:40:29 AM

What an impressive building ! You only get to know something like this if you love lighthouses !
Admiralty has listed all piers of the Tidal Barrier. Most numbers include two lights, the red ones show an X and the green ones an arrow.
Unfortunately this is not shown in my pics!
The two pics are by Alexander Trabas!

It seems Middle range lights indicate center of the approach channel and daymarks - south and north edge of it so for the vessel it would be clear which side of the channel she is now. Basically if you see from the bridge any of the side marks inline - means you exactly on the edge and likely need to turn vessel back to center.

Last time I uploaded many pics from the Workington harbour. I have not seen so many lights and daymarks in such a small space. How to use the lights and daymarks?? What is useful for navigation ? What is superfluous ? Why so many lights?
