A Lighthouse Keeper is a person responsible for maintaining a lighthouse, which is a tall structure that emits light to guide ships safely along coastlines and through dangerous waters. The keeper ensures that the light is operational, keeps the surrounding area clean, and performs regular maintenance on the equipment. In addition to managing the light, the keeper often monitors weather conditions and communicates with passing vessels. Historically, lighthouse keepers lived on-site, sometimes for long periods, to ensure the safety of maritime navigation. Today, many lighthouses are automated, reducing the need for full-time keepers.
