Burgoignesc Maritime Navigation Administration: Difference between revisions

By 1320 a total of 12 of them located on the Isle of Burgundie. The pyres were never permanent structures and had to be rebuilt after heavy storms. In the 1440s a new technique was introduced that added a layer of permanency to them, turf was added on top of the stones so that the rocks were enveloped and were less likely to become dislodged.

In the 1530s, the ''pila pira'' returned as more permanent stone and wooden structures. This new style of lighthouses also included living quarters and were called "posidofan" meaning Poseidon's lamp in Istroyan. They were not built to any specifications but were often over 10 meters tall, with a semi-covered platform for the fire. What was notable about Burgoignesc ''posidofan'' the was the use of parabolic mirrors to intensify the light from the fire. This coupled with the higher fire platform made the Burgoignesc trade ports much easier to find than their mainland counterparts and again made Burgoignesc ports, specifically Vilauristre, the ports of choice for traders from Audonian and the Punthite powers looking to do business with Levanita.
