Download or read book Lighthouses and Keepers written by Dennis L Noble and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 308 pages. 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.

Download or read book Cape St. George Lighthouse and Apalachicola Bay written by James L. Hargrove and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beacon of the historic Cape St. George Lighthouse still guides mariners into Apalachicola Bay. Founded in 1831, the town of Apalachicola took its name from Creek Indians, to whom it signified a land of friendly people. Sheltered from the Gulf of Mexico by a string of barrier islands, the port flourished as the only site in Florida on a river that is navigable for over 300 miles to the fall line at Columbus, Georgia, Apalachicola's sister city. Generations of lighthouse keepers were bound to St. George Island and its great bay by an intense sense of duty to sustain seagoing commerce and a love for a place where they could raise their families in freedom. When the foundation washed away in 2005 after a very active hurricane season and a final surge from Hurricane Wilma, residents took action to salvage and rebuild the historic lighthouse. Visitors may still climb the lighthouse tower, surrounded by bricks that were first laid in 1852.

Download or read book Florida Lighthouses written by John Hairr and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1999-12-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sporting the second-longest coastline in the United States, Florida has over 8,000 miles of sparkling beaches and waterfront property. This valuable landscape and the region’s position between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico made Florida key in the early expansion of American trade routes, but the state’s several capes and dangerous reefs, rocks, and shoals made travel quite perilous to unwary mariners. When commerce and traffic began to grow between ports on the East Coast and along the Gulf of Mexico in the nineteenth century, it became necessary to construct aids to navigation along the state’s long and treacherous coast. Lighthouses were the solution. Constructed in a variety of styles and sizes, Florida’s lighthouses were erected on what, at the time, were some of the most desolate regions of the southeastern United States and included lonely offshore islands. Manned and inhabited by vigilant keepers and their families, these towers illuminated the dark seas and provided the beacon that guided lost travelers. Large brick structures watched over St. Augustine, Pensacola, and Ponce de Leon Inlet; iron skeletons towered over Crooked River and Hillsboro Inlet; and screwpile lighthouses stood as sentinels in the waters off the Florida Keys.
