A massive wave hitting the third Eddystone Lighthouse on the dangerous Eddystone Rocks, south of Rame Head, England. Designed by the Royal Society, civil engineer John Smeaton modelled the shape on an oak tree, built of granite blocks. He pioneered 'hydraulic lime', a concrete that cured under water, and developed a technique of securing the granite blocks using dovetail joints and marble dowels. Construction started in 1756 at Millbay and the light was first lit on 16 October 1759. In 1841 major renovations were made and it remained in use until 1877 and was rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe.
