Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the East Coast to the West Coast, the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and Hawaiian Islands, this handsome book helps explain the lure of lighthouses in the United States. Among the most recognized structures of the maritime world, these lonely sentinels by the sea have long been the subject of paintings and photographs. Today they continue to capture public imagination as Americans flock to their sites for visits and volunteer to help preserve these endangered structures. This book covers all aspects of the subject, not only lighthouses and lightships but buoys, buoy tenders, fog signals, and their keepers. The work is as rich in historical information as it is in rarely seen photographs, and fourteen maps guide readers to the exact locations of the lighthouses. Readers are also treated to stories of shipwrecks and rescues, including the extraordinary story of Ida Lewis, head keeper of the light at Lime Rock, Rhode Island, who rescued eighteen people from the sea.

Download or read book Lighthouses and Islands written by Dan Ellis and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lighthouses and Islands" presents the Mississippi Sound as the focal point with the channels that flow through it. Ellis traces the historical conditions and movements of the barrier islands and near-shore islands, including ownerships and residents during the past 300 years. It includes descriptions of the lighthouses and their replacements since the first towers were built on the Coast. Primarily, these early lighthouses were built to mark the anchorages and channels used by seagoing vessels trading to New Orleans. The Cat Island channel and the Pass Christian channel were on the Coastal mail route and were the first to receive light towers in 1831. In the early 1800s, a large portion of the cotton that was shipped from Mobile to Europe was taken through the Sound to New Orleans or New York before crossing the Atlantic Ocean. By the mid-1800s, the Coast had become a popular "watering place" for vacationers seeking health spas and comfort. Captain John Grant of Pascagoula, who was dubbed the "Father of Gulf Coast Transportation," erected the Gulf's first private lighthouse at Tower Island, where Fort Powell was located. Both the lighthouse and the fort were destroyed during Civil War actions. Knowledge of the Mississippi Sound need not be only the realm for commercial and sports fishermen. This book offers all Coastians a descriptive comprehension of the marine and ecosystem that Nature has provided. The winds and the tides and submarine currents are in constant action - moving and ever changing the islands - the natural Monuments of the Sea. From the early 1800s, these islands were the foundation onto which many of the first lighthouse towers were built. Island erosion and lighthouse preservation has been a challenge to Coastians for nearly 200 years - and which continues with greater fascination and increased nostalgia - as lighthouses become even more significant to the beholder. Ellis, a former educator and business owner, has published more than a dozen books in his heritage legacy series, and is a contributing writer to several publications and an accomplished public speaker.
