Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. Many former lighthouse stations have since been converted into museums or guesthouses, preserving the keepers' quarters as a reminder of a profession the automation left behind.
  2. Eventually, electric lighting and automated sensors made it possible to operate a lighthouse without anyone stationed on site, rendering the traditional keeper role unnecessary.
  3. This isolated but essential work continued largely unchanged for generations, even as ships themselves became faster and more numerous.
  4. 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.
  5. Before automated systems existed, ships navigating rocky coastlines depended entirely on lighthouse keepers to manually light and maintain the beacons that warned them away from danger.
