Important local piece of maritime history
Trinity House Obelisk的点评
点评：A very short walk from Portland Bill Lighthouse is the Trinity House Obelisk - a 7 metre high stone obelisk that acted as a warning to ships about the vast rock shelf that juts out 30 metres into the sea. In effect, it is a lighthouse minus the light!
The Obelisk was "built." I suppose built is the wrong word - it is basically a large piece of shaped Portland Stone) in 1844, and this is engraved on the obelisk itself.
We're lucky this obelisk is still here - in 2002, Trinity House (the official authority for Lighthouses in England and Wales) deemed it too expensive to maintain and it was set for demolition. Quite how much maintenance a large block of stone requires, save for the occasional jet-wash, is anyone's guess.
Mercifully, the obelisk was saved and has remained as an important part of Portland Bill

翻译：从波特兰比尔灯塔步行不远便可到达三一堂方尖碑——一座7米高的石碑，用于警告船只注意伸入海中30米的巨大岩架。实际上，它是一座没有灯的灯塔！
这座方尖碑是“建造”的。我想“建造”这个词用得不太准确——它本质上是一块巨大的波特兰石，建于1844年，方尖碑上就刻着“建造”二字。
我们很幸运，这座方尖碑至今仍屹立不倒——2002年，三一堂（英格兰和威尔士灯塔的官方管理机构）认为维护成本过高，决定将其拆除。除了偶尔的喷水冲洗外，一块巨大的石碑需要多少维护，谁也说不准。
幸运的是，这座方尖碑得以保存，并成为波特兰比尔的重要组成部分。
