Data description (abstract)

F-LAN is a geospatial data set that documents hundreds of coastal lights that guided ships around France from medieval times to 1929. F-LAN provides visibility range for individual lights. The authors collected all data from scholarly literature and historical coastal navigational charts and official lighthouse surveys. F-LAN allows users to track the provision of coastal lighting over time. It complements the existing LAN dataset for England and Wales.
