Offshore lighthouse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Offshore Lighthouses are lighthouses that are not close to land. There can be a number of reasons for these lighthouses to be built. There can be a shoal, reef or submerged island several miles from land. The Stratford Shoals, Middle Ground lighthouse in Long Island Sound is about 6 miles from land. There are many examples of such lighthouses throughout the world
There are two lighthouses in the German Bight on the northern coast of Germany which have been built offshore on sand:
- Roter Sand (Leuchtturm)
- Alte Weser (Leuchtturm)
Most caisson lighthouses are offshore lighthouses.
