Lighthouses (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

Beacons of brightness shining across foreboding and dangerous expanses of water, lighthouses have aided mariners for centuries, and offered them hope and solace. A visual celebration of these magnificent and romantic structures captures all their majesty. From San Diego, California, to New London, Connecticut; from Vancouver Island to South Africa; from the Grand Turks and Caicos to Mathieu, France, each beautiful lighthouse will catch your eye as surely as it caught the joyful attention of ships sailing to shore. An introduction by the founder of the Lighthouse Preservation Society offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of these much-loved structures.
