For more than two centuries, lighthouses have helped sailors find their
way through treacherous waters, guiding them home or taking them safely
through passages on their way to adventure. These historic towers and
houses form a sparkling chain of lights along our coasts, a reminder of
the past echoing with adventure and mystery, a lure for travelers
looking for a glimpse into a romantic past.
American Lighthouses offers more than just a tour of over 450 beautiful
and historic navigational beacons dotting the coasts and lakes of the
United States. This fully illustrated, one-of-a-kind handbook details
their history and architecture and provides full information on visiting
or viewing them.
