Preservation notes
Along the northern coast, each surviving light carries more than masonry and lenswork; it keeps a shared memory of weather, watchfulness, and the people who refused to let the shoreline story disappear.
- Stewardship remains local, with volunteers and town crews caring for towers through each season.
- Weathered stone and iron are stabilized, not erased, so each site keeps its historical character.
- Oral histories from keepers and families are recorded alongside maintenance records for continuity.
- Public access pathways are protected where possible, so remembrance stays grounded in place.
