Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:

- Eventually, electric lighting and automated sensors made it possible to operate a lighthouse without anyone stationed on site, rendering the traditional keeper role unnecessary.
- This isolated but essential work continued largely unchanged for generations, even as ships themselves became faster and more numerous.
- Each keeper's daily routine involved cleaning the lens, trimming the wick or refueling the lamp, and recording weather conditions that might affect visibility for passing vessels.
