Lighthouses of the World, Volume 1

This episode is also available on YouTube.

This is the first in a planned series of future episodes about the world's most well-known lighthouses. The enormous Lighthouse of Alexandria is the most famous lighthouse of all time, and stood for 1500 years on the shore of Alexandria, Egypt. It is one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Hook Lighthouse in Ireland is over 1200 years old and is the oldest, intact, operational lighthouse in the world. The Eddystone Lighthouse off the coast of Plymouth, England has gone through numerous iterations, dating back to the 1600's.

Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano. Original theme music by Sean Sigfried.
