On 23 Sept 2015 Saint Pierre and Miquelon issued this very nice stamp featuring Pointe aux Canons Lighthouse. This lighthouse is located inside the breakwaters at Saint Pierre harbor and once served as the front range light. It has been depicted on several stamps issued by this self-governing French territory near the coast of Newfoundland.

On 17 Feb 2016, Royal Mail issued a 6-stamp Post and Go sheetlet entitled “Royal Mail Heritage – Transport”. The third stamp on the sheetlet features a Falmouth packet ship of the 1820s. Just below the bowsprit of the ship we can make out Lizard Lighthouse which is located on the coast of Cornwall at the western entrance to the English Channel.
