Trinity House provides almost 600 aids to navigation ranging from storm lashed lighthouses to lightvessels and buoys in the English Channel. Trinity House is a unique maritime organisation which throughout its long and distinguished history has had as its prime objective the safety of shipping and the welfare of seafarers.

Constituted under a Royal Charter granted by Henry VIII in 1514, today the Corporation has three functions: The General Lighthouse Authority for England, Wales, The Channel Islands and Gibraltar, providing aids to general navigation such as lighthouses, lightvessels, buoys and radio navigation systems.

It also acts as a charitable organisation for the safety, welfare and training of mariners and relief of those in financial distress and a Deep Sea Pilotage Authority.
