It is said that seabirds would repair it, whenever it was damaged.
==History== 
The tower was built after Eärendil was sent into the heavens by the Valar following Morgoth's defeat at the end of the First Age. Elwing did not join her husband in the heavens, as she was a lover of the earth. Here, or around these lands, she could walk upon the ground and enjoy the feel of the soft, sweet winds off the sea and the hills. It was also believed that, while here, Elwing learned to talk with birds, assume their shape, and fly as they did. So, when Vingilot approached the earth, she would fly up into the sky with white and silvery-grey colored wings. Elves from the south could see her afar as a shining white bird-like figure rose-stained with the color of the sunset in the sky flying up to greet him.
