This photograph captures the iconic Dunkirk Lighthouse, also known as Phare de Dunkerque or Phare de Risban, standing proudly along the northern coast of France in the city of Dunkirk (Dunkerque). Completed in 1843, this lighthouse holds the title of the highest automated first-order lighthouse in France, standing at an impressive height of approximately 112 feet (34 meters). The lighthouse, with its distinctive red and white stripes, has been a guiding beacon for mariners for over a century. Its location near the bustling harbor and port of Dunkirk has made it an essential landmark for sailors navigating the English Channel. In this photograph, taken circa 1910s, the lighthouse can be seen towering over the picturesque harbor, with a fleet of boats and a solitary boat anchored nearby. The calm waters reflect the clear blue sky, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The coastline stretches out behind the lighthouse, with sandy beaches and rolling dunes adding to the picturesque beauty of the area. The Dunkirk Lighthouse has played a significant role in the history of the city and the region, serving as a symbol of safety and hope for seafarers for generations. Its enduring presence continues to captivate visitors and inspire awe, making it a must-see destination for anyone traveling to the northern coast of France.
