Smeaton's Tower - Working Lighthouse Model

Smeaton's Tower BackgroundSmeaton's Tower stands as one of the most notable landmarks in Plymouth, UK. This lighthouse was originally built in 1759 on the Eddystone rocks to warn oncoming ships of the dangers which lay ahead of them. For 123 years, this lighthouse served it's duty off the coast of Plymouth, until it was decommissioned in 1882. In this same year, almost the entire light house was dismantled and rebuilt on the Plymouth Hoe as a memorial to the engineer John Smeaton and his pioneering work in lighthouse design. The lighthouse doesn't function anymore and has only been lit with candles once in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of it's first illumination.
