Fog Bells Warned Ships Before Horns Came Into Use


Never heard of fog bells? They came before foghorns. Like foghorns, bells were used in foggy conditions to warn of navigational hazards such as rocky coastlines or shoals. They were installed along with lighthouses on land and on lightships (they serve as lighthouses in water that is too deep for lighthouse construction). They were also used on seagoing ships to avoid collisions with other ships during fog. Bells were used in the United States (Beavertail, Rhode Island) as early as 1829 until it was recognized that the lower frequency sound from foghorns traveled longer distances in foggy conditions than the sound from bells. Foghorns came in to common use about 1900; fog bells served as backups to foghorns for a while but were phased out completely by about 1920. This is a story of three fog bells in Falmouth. ....

Fresnel lens: The invention that fixed lighthouses


The lens that saved lives.
The most important part of a lighthouse might be one of the beautiful tools hidden inside of it: the Fresnel lens, a breakthrough that changed seafaring and saved lives.
As the above video shows, these lenses satisfied a need for lighthouses that could shine farther and through dense layers of fog. The Fresnel lens, invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel, helped do that by capturing all the light coming from a lamp, then magnifying and steering it in one direction. Suddenly, lighthouses became more useful and shipwrecks diminished.
Fresnel lenses are still in operation today. According to the US Lighthouse Society, more than 75 Fresnel lenses are in use in American lighthouses, and businesses such as Dan Spinella’s Artworks Florida craft replicas that capture the beauty and functionality of the 19th-century breakthrough. ....
