About This Tool
Download lighthouse locations as point data for any country. Coverage is strongest in nations with long maritime histories and extensive coastlines — the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Australia all have solid GeoNames coverage. Useful for maritime mapping, coastal heritage projects, navigation databases, and historical research.
Point Data — What That Means
Each lighthouse is a single point at its location — a latitude/longitude coordinate with name and region. These are not building footprints, light range polygons, or navigational sector data.
