Color PaletteCelebrated in folk ballads and seaman's lore, the Eddystone Lighthouse stands on treacherous rocks in the English Channel 14 miles off Plymouth harbor. Built in 1759, it is considered the first modern lighthouse in form and construction materials.
"See what a real corner of the world it occupies; how it stands there, away off shore, more lonely than the Eddystone Lighthouse."
-Herman Melville, Moby Dick, 1851
