The aids provided by Trinity House mark some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. They range from storm-lashed lighthouses, like Wolf Rock in Cornwall, to lightvessels and buoys in the English Channel.
Trinity House is also a deep sea pilotage authority and a charitable organisation for the safety, welfare and training of mariners.
