beacon tower
Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2018/ / 0 comments
A tower intended to support a flaming beacon, that is to say, a fire of alarm or warning. 2. In modern times, a towerlike structure intended to indicate a line of approach on entering a harbor, or to warn vessels of the location of a shoal or rock, or the like; often without any provision for a fire or other light. (Sturgis, 1900)
