Impact of Catastrophic Ocean storms
People of ancient times chose waterways to move from one place to another or to transport goods, but there were no less problems with waterways because the inhospitable water environment sometimes caused them to die due to sudden changes in weather conditions. In those days, there was no Google map or any navigation system, so the captains had to face many difficulties in finding the direction. To get out of that problem, the lighthouse was built. It acts as a guide to the captain. Today we are going to discuss about one such light house which is known as the first light house built in the world which is called Edistone Light House.
Located on the Atlantic Ocean, this lighthouse is about 14 km from the land, i.e. it is located in a place where the deep sea is called. This form of shipping was a very dangerous route as many accidents occurred here, but sailors chose this route time and time again because it was a form of short cut. A man named Henry Winsten started the construction of this lighthouse, he was actually the owner of a workshop, and he built this lighthouse for the purpose of guiding all sailors to the right path. This man had many businesses one of them was the ship business he had five ships in his hands who owned five ships himself and for some reason one of his five ships sank in the water then he started building light houses. Although no one had any idea about making a light house because it was going to be the first light house in the world. He was a mechanic below, so he had knowledge of various technical matters. Light house construction was progressing.
As a result of his three years of tireless work, the construction of this light house was completed. Later Henry introduced more advanced technology on it to make it more powerful and attractive. After a few years the lighthouse needed to be repaired, Henry was repairing the lighthouse with some workers, and it was late at night to work, and they decided that they would spend the night at the lighthouse but unfortunately that night there was a huge storm. comes, resulting in the lighthouse, along with Henry and his crew, disappearing into the sea. The sea storm was so fatal that Henry and his companion did not exist and even the lighthouse was lost in the water. Later another lighthouse was built in that place which lasted for about 45 years and then in an accident that lighthouse was also destroyed. This was the first light house event in the world that I discussed with you.
