国际灯塔灯船周

为抵御风暴并引导船只安全靠岸，灯塔最初应运而生。如今，它们不仅是导航工具，更成为文化遗产、建筑奇迹和人类与海洋之间深厚联结的象征。每年 8 月的第三个周末，世界各地都会迎来“国际灯塔灯船周”活动，让人们齐聚一堂，共同庆祝这些海岸地标。该活动由苏格兰艾尔业余无线电小组成员约翰·福赛思和迈克·达尔里姆普尔于 1998年发起，旨在提高对灯塔与灯船保护的意识，同时推广业余无线电通信，并促进国际友好交流。

丹麦的林格维格灯塔便是传承这一精神的代表之一，正如今日图片所示。这座灯塔建于 1906 年，高达 120 英尺，矗立在日德兰半岛西海岸一处 55 英尺高的沙丘之上，是丹麦最西部的地标性建筑。它以混凝土为基底、砖墙构造，门窗采用耐候性强的柚木制成。最初由三名守塔人轮班维护灯光，直到 1965 年实现全自动化。尽管因结构安全问题在2024年一度暂停开放，如今它已完成修复，重新欢迎公众前来参观。

International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend

Built to brave storms and steer ships to safety, lighthouses now glow as symbols of heritage, wonder, and connection. Each year on the third weekend of August, the International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend brings together people from around the globe to celebrate these coastal icons. The event was launched in 1998 by John Forsyth and Mike Dalrymple of Scotland's Ayr Amateur Radio Group. It aims to raise awareness about preserving lighthouses and lightships while also promoting amateur radio and encouraging international goodwill.

Among the many lighthouses that carry this legacy forward is the Lyngvig Lighthouse in Denmark, featured here. Standing over 120 feet tall, this tower was built in 1906 atop a 55-foot dune along the west coast of Jutland—the country's westernmost region. Made with a concrete foundation and brick walls, and finished with teak-framed windows and doors, the lighthouse originally required a team of three keepers. They maintained its light until 1965. It has been operating automatically ever since. Following a temporary closure in 2024 due to structural concerns, the lighthouse is now open to the public again.
