![Dovercourt lighthouses. Erected by Trinity House in 1863 using cast iron, they were used until 1917, guiding ships around Landguard Point with their powerful gas lamps. When a ship saw the two lights aligned, it was on the right course. The deep-water channel is now marked by buoys. [1] Sometimes known as Dovercourt Range Lights. [2] Port of Felixstowe cranes can be seen in the distance.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Dovercourt_lighthouses%2C_from_south-west.jpg/1280px-Dovercourt_lighthouses%2C_from_south-west.jpg?utm_source=commons.wikimedia.org&utm_campaign=imageinfo&utm_content=thumbnail)
