Weird Lighthouses
All over the world there are lighthouses with pretty designs. But there are some that sport weird designs and patterns! Take the Berry Head lighthouse in the U.K.; it looks like its lantern room was removed from some sort of skeletal tower and placed into operation as U.K's smallest lighthouse! Then there's the Charleston lighthouse in the U.S.It looks more like a control tower than a lighthouse! Then there's the Girdleness lighthouse in Scotland. It is actually a lighthouse on top of another lighthouse! I wonder if Corsewall is also a lighthouse on top of another lighthouse? Then's there's Duncansby; and it's cousin Esha Ness. These funny square towers look like castles! Then we have the Dungeness 5 lighthouse in Kent; U.K. It resembles a heavy-duty aluminium torch with sixty foghorns built into it; and base that looks like a caramel ice cream swirl! Then we have Bull Point lighthouse in the U.K.; a strange caramel-brick structure with four massive foghorns built into its front! A similar lighthouse is the Tater Du lighthouse in Cornwall; U.K. It had 72 foghorns built into it's front! Then we have Nab Tower; a large cake like structure with a light on top! Then there's Royal Sovereign; an aircraft carrier style lighthouse! I wouldn't be surprised if they did use an aircraft carrier hull! Of course; then there's the screw-pile lighthouses; which I like to call "Spider Lighthouses" due to their legs! Then there's the Oak Island Lighthouse in the U.S. It looks like an oversized pencil stuck into the ground with the lantern room resembling an eraser! Whitefish Point in Michigan also resembles a spider! Finally there's Navesink; an twin light formation with a octagonal and square towers!
