Read the passage given below and answer the questions
given in the worksheet.
The Majestic Tower that Beckons
Have you ever wondered about those tall
structures that are landmarks along every
shore all over the world? Lighthouses. We
see them in pictures and in movies and
along every seashore. Tall, stately
structures looking out to sea, warning the
incoming ships of approaching land. Did
you know what served as a lighthouse in
the early years?
The locals from the area would light a fire at a height to warn
boats of any impending dangers like rocks or even land. The
early constructors of lighthouse included the Greeks, Romans
and Phoenicians.
How do you think these lighthouses showed the way to incoming
ships? Those were the days when technology had not taken over
the world. The lighthouses used lamps to guide the ships.
However, these lamps could throw light only as far as a few
miles into the sea. It was only much later that mirrors, prisms,
electricity and the automatic working of a lighthouse came to be.
It is indeed amazing what these stately structures out in lonely
locations across the world mean to the sailors as they near land
after days out at sea.
Did you know that the Lighthouse of Alexandria is one of the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? It was located on the island
of Pharos in Egypt and it was built in 290 BC. The lighthouse
used to fire at night and reflected the sunrays during the day to
warn sailors of land. This monument is a legacy in the world today
although it was destroyed by several earthquakes that hit it in the
1300s. Today, in its place stands a fort built in 1480 using the
marble and stones from the lighthouse, a breath-taking structure
that came down ravaged by nature.
Here are some lesser-known facts about the lighthouses.
The United States is home to more lighthouses than any other
country.
With more than 115 lighthouses along the Great
Lakes, Michigan boasts the most lighthouses of any U.S. state.
The world's oldest existing lighthouse is considered to be Tower
of Hercules, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The
lighthouse, which was erected in the first century, is still
operational.
The most expensive lighthouse built in America is St. George
Reef, near Crescent City, California. It took 10 years to
construct and cost $715,000.
Lighthouse keeping was one of the first U.S. government jobs
available to women, going back to the 19th century.
Despite advances in
technology,
lighthouses are still
considered aids to
navigation by the
U.S. Coast Guard.
Towers are given
different colours
and patterns --
diamonds, spirals and stripes, for example -- to distinguish them
from each other.
