ATLANTIC COAST LIGHTHOUSES With a foreword by America’s last resident lighthouse keeper, Dr. Sally Snowman
Maritime Retro can now be enjoyed in a 144 page book that takes you on a tour of 65 historic beacons from Maine to Florida, each with a full-page color print and the story behind the hows, whys, and often precarious ups and downs of its origin and long, hardworking life. A great gift for seafarers and landlubbers of all ages.
Includes:
• 68 Maritime Retro full-page original color prints • 148 photographs, vintage postcard views, and historic elevations • Profile of Augustin-Jean Fresnel the man whose prismatic lens saved a million ships • Notes on current beacons and public access for each lighthouse • Information on lighthouse preservation organizations • Fun facts about every lighthouse
“This book is sure to please lighthouse history buffs with its concise examinations of dozens of America’s most captivating beacons—but where this book really shines is the unique and striking illustrations of each lighthouse.”
—Jeremy D’Entremont
Historian of the U.S. Lighthouse Society and host of the society’s Light Hearted podcast
