list of lighthouses in the united states
with the world's largest coastline, canada built a large network of lighthouses and developed a uniquely canadian style of lighthouses following confederation in 1867. advances in navigational technology have lessened the critical navigational role of lighthouses while at the same time their cultural role and potential for tourism development has grown. lighthouse groups seeking to preserve lighthouses soon found that in canada, the landmark buildings fell into a heritage catch-22. as federal buildings, they are exempt from municipal or provincial laws, but they are not protected by any federal heritage laws. lighthouses are instead merely subject to a property management program called the federal heritage building review office (fhbro). a survey of lighthouses across canada in 1998 by the nova scotia lighthouse preservation society showed that fewer than four per cent of canadian lighthouses have been protected from demolition under fhbro, while in the united states, 70 per cent of lighthouses over 50 years old have heritage protection by the national register of historic places. the fhbro process has also been criticized for lack of public consultation with most communities having no idea when local lighthouses were evaluated and for the fact that when lighthouses are sold privately or transferred to other levels of government, even the minimal fhbro protection evaporates.
