Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When waves higher than the vessels that sail upon them smash against the half-submerged rocks at the extremities our coastline, the whole ocean becomes a raging foam which continues to claim the lives of unwary navigators. Man's struggle to build a permanent and durable structure such as a lighthouse on these sites is a story that cannot fail to stir the emotions of anyone who enjoys tales of endeavour, ingenuity and dogged determination. In this second edition of his book, Christopher Nicholson vividly describes the construction and history to the present day of some of the world's most famous lighthouses. Book jacket.

Download or read book Kindly Lights written by Sarah C. Gleason and published by Beacon Press (MA). This book was released on 1991 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kindly Lights chronicles the history of the lights from the early days of the colonies, when lighthouses were built shoddily and haphazardly, usually soon after an all-too-predictable shipwreck, to the mid-nineteenth century when a national lighthouse system was established. In one compelling chapter, the author uncovers the story of David Melville, who conducted a remarkable experiment in gas lighting at Rhode Island's Beavertail lighthouse in 1817/18. It was to be a short-lived trial; Melville's innovations were resisted by Nantucket whalers fearful of losing their lucrative lighthouse oil market and by federal inspector Winslow Lewis, who plays a part in Melville's failure, as he did in so much of the history of the new nation's attempts to build a rational and technically sound lighthouse system.
