Did Lighthouse Keepers work alone or in teams?
Frequently Asked Question about the extinct profession: Lighthouse Keeper
Lighthouse keepers typically worked alone, especially in remote locations, managing the light and maintaining the lighthouse. However, some larger lighthouses employed teams, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries, to handle the increased workload and ensure safety. Teams were more common in busy shipping areas or during harsh weather conditions, providing support and shared responsibilities.
