Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in the new companion version to my first eBook and softcover book Great Lakes Lightships that was published in 2020 titled: Lightships "Keeping Watch Over The Great Lakes" are solely based on some previously written newspaper stories that were published in the "Great Lakes Pilot Newspaper" from late 2020 through the end of 2023. Since their original publications or newly published stories from 2020 till the end of December 2023, the contents are new, the storylines are very different and even with the new facts in place the stores have taken on a life of their own. I can assure each of you the stories that I have brought back have been amended/updated for 2022/2023. As part of my second book on Great Lakes Lightships I have added even more information to the original stories and added several new stories that were published in the "Great Lakes Pilot Newspaper" from 2022 through the end of 2023.

Whether it be Fort Niagara Lighthouse in New York or Split Rock Lighthouse in Minnesota, then as now, people have loved to visit the lights while on holiday and send the postcards home to loved ones. Many of these important navigational aids are still in existence and can be visited thanks to the historical societies and associations that maintain them."--Back cover.

Download or read book Lightship written by Brian Floca and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may never have heard of a lightship. Once, lightships anchored on waters across America, on the oceans and in the Great Lakes, floating where lighthouses could not be built. Smaller than most ships, but more steadfast, too, they held their spots, through calm and storm, to guide sailors toward safe waters. In these pages one lightship and her crew (and cat) again hold their place. The crew goes again from bow to stern, from keel to mast, to run their engines, shine their lights, and sound their horns. They run the small ship that guides the large ships. They are the crew (and cat) that work to make the ocean safe, that hold their place, so other ships can sail. Come aboard!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes, with the rivers, canals, and channels that connect them, form one of the busiest waterways in the world. Lighthouses were needed to secure the safety of ships over these freshwater seas. But over the hundreds of years since the first lighthouse was established on the Great Lakes in 1781, these structures have come to represent something beyond their initial navigational function. Often situated on remote and beautiful shorelines, lighthouses hold a special fascination for people, serving as symbols of courage, perseverance, safety, and comfort. B is for Beacon: A Great Lakes Lighthouse Alphabet uses poetry and expository text in this alphabetical exploration of the history of lighthouses on the Great Lakes, detailing famous structures, local lore, as well as notable moments in Great Lakes history.
