Science Auto Lighthouses End Heroic Keepers
Washington, Oct 14 The lighthouse keeper, a sea hero often living in solitude, may become obsolete as automatic lighthouses reduce human need. A plan to convert 144 lighthouses to automatic operation aims to cut maintenance costs and better protect mariners, though primary fog stations and lightships will remain attended due to high power needs. Progress includes 74 stations automated this year with $50,700 costs and $17,785 in annual savings. The government has grown from 11,713 lighthouses in 1910 to 17,846, while staff rose only modestly.
