US EditionUS to give away free lighthouses as GPS makes them unnecessary
- The US government is giving away or auctioning ten historic lighthouses, most of which are over a century old, to preserve them.
- Modern technology has made lighthouses less essential for navigation and the Coast Guard often maintains aids to navigation at or near lighthouses, but the public is still fascinated by them as tourist attractions.
- Six lighthouses are being offered at no cost to government agencies and entities that are willing to maintain and preserve them and make them publicly available for educational, recreational, or cultural purposes. The other four are being sold at auction.
