Eiffel Tower: A Beacon of Hope

Did you know the Eiffel Tower once saved a ship? In 1905, a French inventor

convinced officials to test a new signaling light from the top of the tower. That same night,

a naval ship drifted in a deadly fog with no radio, no stars, and no way to navigate.

Then—out of nowhere—a beam cut through the darkness. Three long flashes. Two short ones.

Exactly the code being tested in Paris. The ship followed the signal and narrowly

avoided running aground. Yes, the Eiffel Tower literally saved

lives. A monument built for beauty became a lighthouse when it mattered most.
