We describe 'LAN', a geospatial data set that documents the development of coastal lights that guided ships around England and Wales from medieval times to 1911. As an additional benefit, LAN provides visibility range of individual lights from 1831. The authors collected all data from scholarly literature and historical coastal navigational charts and official lighthouse surveys. The sources were selected for their good coverage of coastal lighting. LAN allows users to track the development of coastal lighting over time by presenting snapshots of this service as it was during several benchmark periods.
我们描述了“LAN”，这是一个地理空间数据集，记录了从中世纪到1911年引导船只在英格兰和威尔士周围航行的沿海灯塔的发展情况。另外，LAN还提供了1831年以来各灯塔的能见距离。作者从学术文献、历史沿海航海图和官方灯塔调查中收集了所有数据。选择这些来源是因为它们对沿海照明有很好的覆盖范围。LAN通过展示该服务在几个基准时期的快照，让用户能够追踪沿海照明随时间的发展情况。
