Smeaton’s Tower, the third and most renowned of the Eddystone Lighthouses, was designed by civil engineer John Smeaton and built between 1756 and 1759 to warn ships of the treacherous Eddystone Reef. Constructed from granite blocks, it employed Smeaton’s revolutionary system of interlocking joints and hydraulic mortar that could set underwater — a major breakthrough in lighthouse engineering. After more than a century of service, the tower was dismantled in 1882 as the rock beneath it began to erode. Its upper two-thirds were carefully reconstructed on Plymouth Hoe, where it still stands today as a memorial to Smeaton, widely regarded as the “father of civil engineering”.
