Title: A Beacon of Hope: St. Mary's Lighthouse, Whitley Bay, Northumberland, England (1900s) St. Mary's Lighthouse, located in Whitley Bay, near Tynemouth, Northumberland, England, stands as a testament to the rich maritime history of the region. This photograph, captured in the 1900s, showcases the lighthouse in all its glory, bathed in the soft, ethereal light of a bygone era. The lighthouse, a cherished landmark, has been guiding seafarers safely to the shores of Northumberland for over a century. Constructed in 1898, it stands at a height of 137 feet (42 meters) and boasts a powerful light that can be seen up to 14 nautical miles (26 kilometers) out at sea. The image reveals the lighthouse's distinctive red and white stripes, which contrast beautifully against the backdrop of the stormy North Sea.
