Learn historical facts and enjoy entertaining stories about
lighthouses along the coasts of Washington, Oregon, California,
Hawaii, Alaska, and British Columbia. Black-and-white and color
photos enhance the detailed text to present a comprehensive,
one-of-a-kind look at these maritime structures, including
technological breakthroughs and even ghostly hauntings. This
detailed narrative takes readers back to the first Pacific Coast
lighthouses of the mid-19th century and shows their development
through the years as the US endeavored to light the capes and
outcrops of the region. Discover the fabulous Fresnel prismatic
lenses that were at first illuminated by burning oil and follow
their evolution through more modern times. Along the way, you'll
learn about ghosts, apparitions, and unsolved mysteries connected
with these life-saving beacons. The dramatic, detailed narrative
provides armchair adventure for history buffs and those with a
special affinity for the sea.
