Product description
Section of the coastline of Brittany, the west coast of Northern France, had always been known by sailors to be a rugged and dangerous area.
Being the westernmost point of land, it is a heavily trafficked sea lane and also experiences severe weather during much of the year.
22 tons of soap and tallow were spread on the slipway to lubricate the ship's passage into the River Lagan.
PROTOTYPE HISTORY
La Jumienne lighthouse is located in Bretonne. It is built on a fragment of a rock and, in bad weather, is completely cut off from the world. Dramatic shots of storms on La Jumienne were often published in glossy magazines and online, which brought fame worldwide lighthouse. The lighthouse warns ships of the danger of approaching the shore, as the underwater rocks have led to dozens of shipwrecks at this location.
Since 1991, the lighthouse has been fully automated and controlled remotely. Ass symbols of guiding light, amulets from dangers, Lighthouses have always been a source of inspiration for creative people. The lighthouse was the last tale of one of the most mysterious writers in the history of Edgar Poe, which he never finished.
Movie studio "Castle Rock," which created the best film adaptations of another master of mystery and horror, Stephen King, has a lighthouse on its logo. Since the beginning of the history of navigation, lighthouses have been landmarks for sailors. Initially, they were large bonfires, and now they are electric lamps with a complex system of lenses and mirrors.
