There was a technology focus on the development of optics and fog signals, aids to navigation, including buoys and daymarks, and ever changing advances in marine safety. The importance of lightships in marking dangerous shoals and the role lighthouse tenders played in supplying hundreds of lighthouses are part of the lighthouse story. Modern technology has doomed the classic lighthouse. The Coast Guard, in its role as custodian, has automated all light stations in this country and, in the process, has eliminated the need for operating personnel. In selected cases, the Coast Guard is licensing some formerly manned and discontinued light stations to qualified groups.
