pharos

"That is a lighthouse—they call it a pharos, after the one that Ptolemy built; it must have stood about in the same direction."

From The Ship Dwellers A Story of a Happy Cruise by Paine, Albert Bigelow

And lastly when dawn ends the night And belts the semi-orb of sea, The tall, pale pharos in the light Looks white and spectral as may be.
