How the GLAs are funded

The General Lighthouse Authorities for the United Kingdom and Ireland are funded by a system called Light Dues.

A brief history of Trinity House

Initially responsible for the welfare of decayed seamen and the Although its origins are lost to obscurity, it is clear that regulation of pilots on the Thames, when the ‘Masters, rulers and mariners of the King’s Navy the Brethren of Trinity House in the Thames and other places’ presented a petition to assumed a reputation for expertise King Henry VIII on 19 March 1513, this charitable Guild was in a great number of maritime already in possession of a well-established great hall and matters, and so their formal duties grew to include — among almshouses, close to the Naval Dockyard at on other things — the victualling and the River Thames. manning of the King’s ships and the dredging and sale of ballast from he petition — concerning the bed of the Thames river. the incorporation of that Queen Elizabeth I would soon fraternity “so that they might T recognise the achievements of this regulate the pilotage of ships in “company of the chiefest and most the King’s streams” — resulted in expert masters and governors of Henry granting a Royal Charter ships” with an Act of Parliament in on 20 May 1514 to ‘The Master 1565 allowing them to set up “so Wardens and Assistants of the Guild many beacons, marks, and signs for Fraternity or Brotherhood of the the sea… whereby the dangers may most glorious and undivided Trinity be avoided and escaped, and ships and of St. Clement in the Parish of the better come into their ports Deptford Strond, in the County of without peril.” Elizabeth would also Kent’, commonly referred to as the grant the Corporation its Coat of Corporation of Trinity House.

The seamen and the local poor by notably around the sands between reliability of many of the private selling dredged material from the Lowestoft and Winterton.

The King’s Privy Council an economical service to the not exercise this right until over allowed for a levy of four pence on mariner meant that, in the late 20th 40 years later. With the increase ships passing the light, to cover the century, the number of depots and in shipping along the Newcastle cost of maintenance and fuel. lightvessels were reduced, and the to London coal route, collisions lighthouses were switched over to The next two hundred years saw and the shoals along the coast had automatic operation. a proliferation of lighthouses, The lighthouses, lightvessels and buoys are now watched over from Harwich, Swansea and St. Just, and the headquarters at Tower Hill, London, which has stood since 1795. The Corporation continues its original role as a charity today, dispersing as much as £6 million annually for the welfare and education of mariners. In many ways the Corporation is still the same guild of Master Mariners that was incorporated in 1514, and to this day it operates from the renewed Royal Charter drafted by the Corporation’s Master Samuel Pepys in 1685. The Smeaton tower was lit by a candelabra, which gave out poor luminosity, but was better than the oil lamp he had previously used. The soot the burning of the oil lamp gave off defeated the object of having a light. When Trinity House acquired the tower in 1807 it replaced the candelabra with ‘Argand’ lamps, named after the Swiss inventor Ami Argand who discovered that the effect of placing a burning oil wick in a glass tube was a significantly brighter flame as the confined space meant the flame had to draw in more air to keep alight. This light was further improved when the was fuelled by the cleaner-burning sperm oil. The use of reflectors to not only increase the light’s intensity but to help differentiate the light Advances in aids to from its neighbours was the next breakthrough and improved navigation technology navigation for the exhausted seafarer. Bending brass sheets in The development of lighthouses to arcs helped refract the light and in the 19th century Swede Johan Nordqvist devised a way of making the apparatus turn using a clock-like mechanism and pendulum creating Early lighthouses could be very ineffectual as they gave the first flashing lights. The sources mixed signals. There was no regulation of the brightness of the light changed including or position of the light and they rarely marked the real the use of electricity in selected hazards seafarers faced.
