America's Lighthouses vs U.S. Lighthouse Guide

America’s Lighthouses Discover the lighthouses that have guided mariners along America’s coasts, rivers and Great Lakes for generations. America’s Lighthouses is an interactive guide to 776 lighthouses throughout the United States. From famous landmarks such as Portland Head Light and Cape Hatteras to remote offshore lights and forgotten towers, the app puts an extraordinary collection of American maritime history in your pocket. EXPLORE THE LIGHTHOUSES Browse lighthouses across the country on an interactive map or select an individual state to explore its lights. Search by lighthouse name, switch between map and list views, and filter the collection by whether a lighthouse still exists, remains active, or has been visited. Each lighthouse is plotted at its location and accompanied by a photograph whenever one is available. Tap a lighthouse to see its details, location and history. DISCOVER THEIR STORIES Lighthouses are more than towers with lights. They are stories of shipwrecks, storms, engineering, isolation, lifesaving and the people who kept the lights burning. America’s Lighthouses includes historical information describing why each light was established, important events in its history, and what has become of it today. See whether the lighthouse still exists and whether its light remains active. Learn about towers that were rebuilt, relocated, automated, abandoned or preserved—and discover the remarkable variety of structures that have served as American aids to navigation.
