List of tallest lighthouses

Add article description

This is a list of the tallest lighthouses, by tower height (as opposed to focal height, i.e. height of the lamp of a lighthouse from water level). The list includes only "traditional lighthouses", as defined by The Lighthouse Directory, i.e. buildings built by navigation safety authorities primarily as an aid to navigation.[1] As such, its information regarding construction, year, and notes is from the list of tallest lighthouses at The Lighthouse Directory.[1] Sources are given for all other information. Heights are from the United States Coast Guard Light List for the United States[2] and from NGA List of Lights for the rest of the world,[3] unless a better source exists. Where several lighthouses share the same height, they share the same position, and are all marked with "=".
