  • Lighthouse (light house) - a navigational landmark in the form of a tower of a distinctive shape and color, installed on the mainland, island or directly in shallow water, equipped with a lighting device with a large optical visibility range.
  • farology - (from Greek φάρος - lighthouse and Greek λογος - word, science) - applied a field of knowledge that studies lighthouses and signal and navigation lights, exploring the principles of operation, patterns of design, construction, maintenance and operation of lighthouses, as well as the history of lighthouse business and its place in culture.

The founder of science is considered to be the Scottish engineer Robert Stevenson (1772-1850), grandfather and namesake of authornova "Island treasures"1(http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F#cite_note-1). The writer's father was also a lighthouse specialist.

Farology is also called the amateur hobby for lighthouses and lighthouse making.

  • Lightship - a vessel equipped with a lighthouse light and installed in an area of ​​hazards remote from the coast or before entering a seaport (with the functions of a pilot station).

The word “lighthouse” had other meanings that were not familiar to sailors:

  • Resellers and brokers were also called lighthouses, tarkhans, eagles, Varangians, maklaks, profiteers, traders.
  • ***Beacon* **in the past they called any sign, sign, specially arranged sign: pillars and pegs along which surveyors work, markings along which construction workers plaster and paint. To speak with beacons meant to explain on one's fingers or with the help of other signs. Lighthouse resellers bought lard, wool, and bristles from the villages, often shortchanging and weighing them. There was also a saying: “The lighthouse has arrived, so honor has come to the pig’s wool!” Source: SCIENCE AND LIFE
  • Loom - touch the bottom when taking measurements. Iron. - attract attention. To open up, to be visible, to be seen.
  • Zeyman - ambitious midshipmen of the Naval Cadet Corps came up with the title "zeyman" (See man - sea man). All graduates proudly called themselves “Zeymans” until the end of their days. For them, this title was more honorable than any academic diploma. As Theodosius Veselago, himself a former midshipman, wrote in his “History of the Naval Cadet Corps,” “from these “Zeymans” later came great hydrographers, circumnavigators and famous admirals.” Source: Aksentiev S.T.
