I helped with the Lighthouses schema in Freebase.
For your personal enjoyment:

(use Google Chrome or any other non-IE, non-FF browser to view).
Just a quick hack, many of the data are incomplete (no English labels or
images, for example), but the map is pretty informative. For example,
you can see that Portugal has a lot of lighthouses while Spain has
almost none -- maybe we need to look at our data there ;-) The data is
not auto-updated (e.g. I already fixed the issue with the lighthouse in
rural Kasachstan on Wikidata -- a typo that changed W for E in
coordinates). But it is true that we have a lighthouse close to Dresden
(far from the sea). Anyway, maps are a great way to spot data quality
issues.
