General Discussion / Heigth of the tower, Focal pla...

Last post by Bergwind - September 20, 2022, 06:03:08 AM

Lighthouse Directory from Russ Rowlett is very useful for all of us lighthouse lovers. But often I see great differences for height of the tower and focal plane elevation from Open Sea Map.
For instance: Roscoff ! A1812.1 Russ: 24 and 24, Open Sea : 15 and 24 (seems realistic )
Or the beacons in sea: A1818, Russ :20 and 14, Open Sea : 8 and 14 (seems realistic ) and so on...

Lighthouse identification / Tourelle an Namouic

Last post by kwolfgang - September 14, 2022, 06:50:05 AM

Who can provide information on the "Tourelle an Namouic" in France (offshore), Finistere, west of the island Île de Sein and near the lighthouse Ar-men D0852. It looks like a former lighthouse. Besides the location (N48.043 W004.9522) and a blurred photo I got no details.

It looks like a former lighthouse but I have no other information besides a blurred picture.

Lighthouse identification / local lighthouse, flourite

We need the help of local lighthouse experts, flourite!

I believe in Lighthouse Directory something is wrong! The Outer southern breakwater has dismounted and only a small green light is left, see Gallery!

North Outer Breakwater is red ,Taiwan 444! Inner Breakwaters see pictures, Taiwan 452+455! Do you agree? The breakwater entry was fenced, no entry!

Thank you!
