From tidal lights to lighthouses
0
0
Before the establishment of the seaside resorts of Trouville and Deauville, only fixed lights or tidal lights arranged along the shore indicated the coast to sailors. The increase in traffic led to the construction of better equiped ports. In 1860, two wooden piers, each carrying a metal lighthouse with fixed lights, were built. They mark the entrance to the channel leading to the port. Claude Monet painted one pier and its lighthouse in 1870 in his The Port of Trouville.
