A lighthouse is a tower that is built on a dangerous, rocky coastline. A lighthouse has a bright light in the top of it so ships can see it from a long way away. Lighthouses were built so that ships would know not to go too close to a rocky shore, so they didn't crash. Lighthouses were also used to mark the entrance to a harbour so ships could find where they were going at night.
