## Resource

Episode 55 Lighthouses Were Never Just For Ships On this episode, we explore the hidden purpose behind many of America’s lighthouses. We look at the evidence that a large number of these towers were never just for guiding ships. From reinforced platforms and overbuilt staircases to strategic cliffside locations, many of these structures show clear signs they were designed to serve as mooring stations for airships. We break down the work of the two main engineers who built America’s lighthouses, connect the timeline of lighthouse construction to the peak of the airship era, and tie it all into the larger reset window. We also examine how lighthouses may have been just one piece of a much bigger old-world transportation and energy grid. If you’ve ever looked at a lighthouse and felt like something didn’t quite add up, this episode is for you.
