Lighthouse

A Lighthouse is a tall tower that sends a cone of light out at night onto the sea, so that ship can safely find the harbour without going into dangerous waters.

Lighthouses were first seen in Ultima V, when the lighthouses of Stormcrow, Greyhaven, Waveguide and Fogsbane were errected. However, these structures were not meant to last, and the collaps of the Underworld caused earthquakes that made the tall structures topple and collapse.

A lighthouse did exist on the Serpent Isle east of Fawn, but the Teleport Storms exchanged it with the Royal Mint of Britannia, while the lighthouse ended up in the middle of Britain.

In Ultima IX, new lighthouse had been errected near Britain, Buccaneer's Den, Trinsic and Moonglow. However, in three of the lighthouses, the light crystals were still missing, and the Avatar accepted the job of finding these, getting them polished and then installing them in the appropiate lighthouse.
