From their construction by free African men to their modern-day significance as iconic landmarks, we'll journey through time to discover the legacy of these maritime marvels."

    Isn’t the Pirt Royal one still there? Or do you mean, the only ones still functional?

    I was hoping to get a closer look at the Morant Point Light House. Unfortunately there's a big iron fence around it and the gate was locked.😒

    The only ones I’ve seen are the Negril and the Port Royal lighthouses. Didn’t know there were so many. Makes me wonder we there there were that many ports on the island or did they only serve as a signal for land?

    maxtrowers3674... I thought this video was about the Lighthouse in Jamaica, and not the ancestry of Jamaicans? Am I missing something here?
