August 7th
National Lighthouse Day
(San Francisco Bay lighthouse)
National Lighthouse Day honors and commemorates a beacon of
light that symbolizes safety and security for boats at sea.
On August 7, 1789, through an Act of Congress, the Federal Government took
over responsibility for building and operating our nation's lighthouses. The
government recognized the importance to ships at sea to find safe harbor during
fog and storms. Over the years, lighthouses have saved many ships, and an untold
number of lives.
Throughout maritime history, Lighthouses have shined their powerful,
sweeping lights through the fog and storms, allowing ships of all kinds to find
their way back to port during inclement weather. With the advent of radar and
GPS technology, lighthouses have taken a back seat in guiding ships to port.
However, they remain the universal symbol of safe harbor to ships and
communities that rely upon the sea for their livelihood.
There are numerous local and national lighthouse preservation societies and
lighthouse organizations. They serve to preserve and promote lighthouses, and
their historical significance to communities, and to the nation.
Enjoy National Lighthouse
Day by visiting a lighthouse, or
learning more about your local lighthouse preservation society. Or, read a book
about lighthouses.
Origin
of National Lighthouse Day:
On this day in 1789, the U.S. Congress enacted legislation allowing the
federal government control over the creation and maintenance of lighthouses.
This special day evolved out of this event, and in recent years, through
efforts to preserve lighthouses as a important historical symbol in
America.
