Coastal introduction
Framing the northern shoreline and the lighthouses that shaped it
This archive gathers weathered photographs, keeper records, and place notes so each beacon can be read in context rather than as an isolated landmark.
- The northern coast is mapped as a chain of exposed headlands, harbors, and narrow passages where visibility changed quickly with weather.
- Lighthouse stations served as navigation beacons, weather sentries, and daily signals for fishing crews and cargo routes.
- Preserved towers and surviving archives are documented here to connect today's shoreline with its working maritime past.
