EMODnet Human Activities: Lighhouses

This dataset provides the location of lighthouses inventoried by the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society (ARLS). It includes both existing lighthouses and historical ones that have been removed, relocated or destroyed (column Status). The dataset includes the name of the lighthouse, its code in the ARLSH database and the gridsquare within which it is located. Coordinates are approximate for most of the lighthouses.

Statement

The geodatabase for lighthouses in the EU relies on the data collected and harmonised by the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society (ARLHS). The ARLHS has inventoried over 4000 lighthouses in the EU (including historical lighthouses that have been removed, relocated or destroyed) but has not verified all coordinates. In addition to the ARLHS work, about 140 points which location could be questioned (away from coasts inland or at sea, or close to other countries’ coasts) have been cross-checked with other sources. Out of these, 63 have been corrected while other locations have been confirmed. Other sources used are: Listoflights.org, lighthousesrus.org, marinetraffic.com, faroisdeportugal.com and fsfehmarnbelt.de.
