Following the hard work and planning of lighthouse enthusiasts and experts over the course of three years, the World Lighthouse Society was formed by representatives from many countries at the Inaugural meeting held on 2nd September 2002.

Our Challenge at national and international level is to actively encourage and promote the protection and preservation of historically significant aids to navigation, primarily lighthouses and lightvessels.

We aim to promote communication and cooperation amongst all lighthouse organisations and enthusiasts, to share information, ideas and strategies and to offer worldwide support.
Auch wenn Leuchttürme zu verschiedenen Nationen gehören, so sind sie doch Teil eines weltweiten Navigationssystems. Sie umspannen unsere Erde wie eine einzige Lichterkette; ohne Anfang und ohne Ende.

We provide a forum where needs and achievements can be made known to global audience.
