Lighthouses
For centuries, they have lit the way home for millions of men and women at sea, casting beacons of safety on coasts throughout North America, Europe, and the world. Through evocative photographs this beautifully illustrated volume celebrates lighthouses such as America's tallest, Cape Hatteras Light in North Carolina, and the Beachy Head Lighthouse in East Sussex, on the highest chalk sea cliff in Great Britain.
There are also historical facts, and fascinating trivia- for example, a keeper in Maine trained his dog to ring a fog bell, warning ships of danger!
Also included are engaging first-person observations from the remarkable men and women who've guided ships from harm's way. Lighthouses is an international celebration of extraordinary monuments that have shone a light of safety and hope throughout history.
