Download or read book Lighthouses and Life Saving Along Cape Cod written by James W. Claflin and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, heroic men and women have guarded the treacherous yet beloved Cape Cod coastlines. From Provincetown to Chatham, Sandwich to Cuttyhunk, and many towns in between, residents have relied on the Atlantic for employment and nourishment. But Cape Cod has always been plagued with a shifting coastline that consistently defies mariners' efforts to pass through Massachusetts waters. In 1792, as shipping increased, mariners petitioned for a sorely needed lighthouse. It was not until 1797 that the first lighthouse on Cape Cod was built at the Highlands in North Truro. More lights and rescue stations would follow as the seas claimed their toll. Many lightship stations were also established from Chatham through Nantucket Sound to mark the constantly changing sandbars submerged offshore--more than in any other spot along the US coastline. Today, as sea levels change and sands continue to shift, some of these historic stations have been lost or moved, while still others are preserved only in such photographs as these.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the attractions of Massachusetts destinations of Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard is their rich array of lighthouses. These architectural feats pepper the shores, where most continue to warn passing ships of the dangers of landfall. Arthur P. Richmond, a well-known photographer of the Cape and Islands, has gathered forty views of their lighthouses, including some views of some interiors and at various seasons. Active lights and inactive lights are presented as beautiful color postcards. Perforated, they can be detached and sent to friends (at 40 cents apiece they are a good bargain), framed and hung on your wall, or kept intact as a souvenir of your summer vacation. This is also the perfect gift for the lighthouse enthusiast or visitor to the New England shore.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightships, Lighthouses and Lifeboat Stations is part history book, part memoir, written by Bernie Webber, recipient of the Coast Guard’s highest award, the Gold Life-saving Medal, and hero of the Disney movie The Finest Hours. While the public will recognize Webber’s name from the movie and the bestselling book by the same name, few people know that during his lengthy Coast Guard career he served on lightships (ships anchored in dangerous areas to warn other vessels of hazards) in addition to lifeboat stations (small boat rescue stations) and lighthouses. Webber poses the following question: “How did the lightship men cope with the isolation, constant loneliness, boredom, fear, or just sheer terror? All were part of life on board a lightship. Rough seas tossed the ship about, rearing up and down the anchor chain. This was a world of isolation, noise from operating machinery, and blasts from the powerful foghorn that went on for hours, sometimes days, at a time.” Webber answers that question in this book, drawing on a combination of personal experience and meticulous historical research. Discussions of men going mad, lightships being run down by larger ships, anchor chains breaking, and lightships cast upon shoals are offset with humorous stories and the author’s reflections on his best days at sea. Webber also explains some of the heroic actions of a few lightship men over the years, and points out that they received no recognition at the time. The isolation these men faced was intense, but they learned to make do with what they had. Fourteen historic photos are included, as well as a Foreword by Michael Tougias.
