Lighthouses are structures that are used to warn ships and boats about hazards along coastlines or at sea. They contain a light that shines out over the water to help guide sailors, as well as living quarters for those who maintain the lighthouse. Important features of a lighthouse include the lantern room at the top that houses the light, as well as a watch room and living spaces below for the lighthouse keepers.
