NAICS Code 488310-04 Description (8-Digit)

Lighthouses are structures built on or near the coast to guide ships and boats safely through dangerous waters. They are typically tall, cylindrical towers with a bright light at the top that can be seen from far away. Lighthouses have been used for centuries to help sailors navigate through treacherous waters and avoid shipwrecks. Today, many lighthouses have been automated and are no longer manned by keepers, but they still serve an important role in maritime safety.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 488310-04 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of lighthouses dates back to ancient times when fires were lit on hilltops to guide ships. The first known lighthouse was the Pharos of Alexandria, built in Egypt in the 3rd century BC. In the 18th and 19th centuries, lighthouses became more widespread and advanced, with the introduction of new technologies such as Fresnel lenses and electricity. In the United States, the first lighthouse was built in Boston in 1716, and by the mid-19th century, there were over 600 lighthouses along the coast. However, with the advent of GPS and other modern navigation technologies, the need for lighthouses has decreased, and many have been decommissioned or repurposed.
