Nonsense I said Judge Braine; let Cortland go along. That is a very nice plan, rejoined Mrs. Braine; but Tom may not have room for him, and has not asked him. N o, no, we cannot do any thing of that kind. I think that our little John will have to give it up. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lighthouses were built on the Hudson River in New York between 1826 to 1921 to help guide freight and passenger traffic. One of the most famous was the iconic Statue of Liberty. This fascinating history with photos will bring the time of traffic along the river alive. Set against the backdrop of purple mountains, lush hillsides, and tidal wetlands, the lighthouses of the Hudson River were built between 1826 and 1921 to improve navigational safety on a river teeming with freight and passenger traffic. Unlike the towering beacons of the seacoasts, these river lighthouses were architecturally diverse, ranging from short conical towers to elaborate Victorian houses. Operated by men and women who at times risked and lost their lives in service of safe navigation, these beacons have overseen more than a century of extraordinary technological and social change. Of the dozens of historic lighthouses and beacons that once dotted the Hudson River, just eight remain, including the iconic Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor's great monument to freedom and immigration, which served as an official lighthouse between 1886 and 1902. Hudson River Lighthouses invites readers to explore these unique icons and their fascinating stories.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... LIGHTHOUSES OF OTHER COUNTRIES AND OF ANTIQUITY The most famous lighthouse is the Eddystone, a sea-swept lighthouse off the south coast of England, fourteen miles from Plymouth.' Four successive towers have been built on this ledge, the first three by private enterprise. Each has been a work of great difficulty, as the rock is submerged at high tide and lies in an exposed position. The first tower, built of timber and of rather fantastic design, was completed in 1699, after four years of work; during the first year all that was accomplished was drilling twelve holes in the rock and fastening irons in them. In 1697, during the progress of this work, Winstanley, the designer, and his men were taken off the rock by a French privateer, but the story is that their release was ordered by Louis XIV, who remarked that he was at war with England, but not with humanity. Winstanley was so confident of the lighthouse that he had wished to be in it "in the greatest storm that ever blew under the face of heaven." In November, 1703, he went to the tower with workmen to make some repairs; a great storm on November 26 completely demolished the lighthouse and Winstanley and the keepers and workmen perished. The need of a lighthouse on the Eddystone was soon proved by the wreck of a manof-war on the rock, and the loss of most of her crew. Another lighthouse of timber and of simple outline was finished in 1709, designed by Rudyerd, and stood until destroyed by fire in 1755. A lightship was placed off the rock the following year, and a tower built entirely of stone was commenced in 1756 and completed in 1759. Smeaton, the engineer, used, for the first time in a lighthouse, dovetailed joints for the stones, which averaged over one ton in weight. Owing to...

Book excerpt: "What Moby-Dick is to whales, Brilliant Beacons is to lighthouses—a transformative account of a familiar yet mystical subject." —Laurence Bergreen, author of Columbus: The Four Voyages In this "magnificent compendium" (New Republic), best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin presents the definitive history of American lighthouses, and in so doing "illuminate[s] the history of America itself" (Entertainment Weekly). Treating readers to a memorable cast of characters and "fascinating anecdotes" (New York Review of Books), Dolin shows how the story of the nation, from a regional backwater colony to global industrial power, can be illustrated through its lighthouses—from New England to the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, the Pacific Coast, and all the way to Alaska and Hawaii.

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 212 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.
