I'm acting like lighthouses are useful maritime safety infrastructure and closing them because of technology is short-sighted.
It's night, your phone died in the rain, you're huddled over a laminated chart with a flashlight trying to figure out where the hell you are. A lighthouse is going to be a welcome visual marker, much easier to see than channel guide lights, especially if there's chop. I have been in this exact situation
Because GPS receivers never go on the fritz and small boats definitely all have them

Doubt these light houses are even in operation as it is.
