Book Synopsis Lighthouses and Life-Saving on the Oregon Coast by : David Pinyerd
Download or read book Lighthouses and Life-Saving on the Oregon Coast written by David Pinyerd and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oregon Coast has been the site of shipwrecks even before Lewis and Clark's arrival in 1805. Even as the population grew, the federal government let the Oregon Coast go unguarded by lighthouses and lifesavers for decades. Economic and political pressures finally forced the government to build the first Oregon lighthouse in 1857 at the Umpqua River. The LifeSaving Service followed in 1878 with a station at the mouth of Coos Bay. Eventually, most of the harbor entrances and headlands were protected by both the Lighthouse Service and the LifeSaving Service, the precursor to today's Coast Guard. Lighthouses and Lifesaving on the Oregon Coast commemorates the true heroes who served to warn, protect, and rescue those who went to sea.

Book Synopsis Lights of the Inside Passage by : Donald Graham
Download or read book Lights of the Inside Passage written by Donald Graham and published by Madeira Park, B.C. : Harbour Publishing Company. This book was released on 1986 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lighthouses of the inside passage, many of them built to guide prospectors on their way to the Klondike, stretch from sheltered stations on the Gulf Islands to stark, storm-swept Triple Island and Langara, south of Alaska. Feel the fury of destructive North Pacific gales and tidal waves that ravage the coast; ponder the unsolved murder of Addenbrooke's keeper, and the mysterious disappearances on Egg Island; witness the insanity caused by isolation -and enjoy the contentment and peace that many keepers found on their solitary stations. Don Graham, keeper at Vancouver's Point Atkinson light, tells the stories of individual lighthouses, then brings the history of lightkeepers in general into the present. The century-old tradition of service that has insured the safety of West Coast mariners and ships is currently threatened by automation, and Graham presents a persua-sive case against unmanning the lights through his account of the dedication and endurance of pioneer keepers.
