"The Chapman Lighthouse, a three-legged thing erect on a mud flat, shone strongly" (Conrad, 3).
The Chapman Lighthouse was a lighthouse located at the end of the Thames River. It was one of the last things that could be seen before leaving the Thames estuary. It was demolished in 1957 after it began to fall apart. (Edit) This is an actual place that on would see sailing out of the Thames River, which increases a readers attachment to the novel.
