What prompted Bordeaux to build a tower?
The citizens of Bordeaux were prompted to build a tower because firms trading with them refused to venture into the Gironde unless a light was placed on the reef to guide their captains[1]. Alarmed at the prospect of losing their remunerative traffic, the citizens of Bordeaux built a tower upon the deadly reef, with a beacon which they kept stoked with wood[1].
