This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lighthouses and Lightships of the United States The lighthouse and the lightship appeal to the interest and better instinct of man because they are symbolic of never-ceasing watchfulness, of steadfast endurance in every exposure, of widespread helpfulness. The building and the keeping of the lights is a picturesque and humanitarian work of the nation. But this work is not all romance, as, unseen by the passing mariner, and back of the lighthouse and ship and buoy, there must be a great engineering and business machine with its endless contracts, plans, specifications, appointments, the routine of office and depot and ship and light-station. Scarcely a day passes, however, that there does not gleam in the mass of dry routine a fact of interest, an act of bravery, a risk cheerfully taken to aid another, a record of long and faithful service, an improvement of light or of fog signal, of vessel or of lighthouse, an historic record of the past, or a photograph of the present.

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 Synopsis Lighthouses and Life Saving Along the Connecticut and Rhode Island Coast by : James Claflin
Download or read book Lighthouses and Life Saving Along the Connecticut and Rhode Island Coast written by James Claflin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001-06-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lighthouses and Life Saving along the Connecticut and Rhode Island Coast is the third in a series of titles offering a unique tribute to the men and women who protected the mariners as they traveled along New England's rocky coastline. Thousands of vessels faced the dangers of the rugged sea which caused hundreds of shipwrecks off the coast with devastating losses. Author James Claflin combines a thoroughly descriptive text with this diverse collection of over two hundred vintage images, from private as well as museum collections, to create an illustrated history of an area strongly reliant on its coastal trade. The U.S. Light-House Establishment and the U.S. Life-Saving Service, which later merged to become the U.S. Coast Guard, assumed the responsibility of lighting and protecting the coasts. Inside, you will see the lighthouse keeper at Bullock's Point Light as he surveys the damage from the Hurricane of 1938, witness the life savers at Block Island's Sandy Point Station where first word of the wreck of the steamer Larchmont was received, and experience life on an offshore lightship. The book guides you through the days of the life savers-the work they performed, their rescues, and the evolution of their architecture through the years.
