The safety of countless people has depended on lighthouses, beacons
that cut through fog and darkness to alert seafaring souls of
shores ahead. A former lighthouse keeper tells the dramatic stories
of the sentinels that line the coast from California to British
Columbia. Vintage and color photos of these lighthouses, coastal
landscapes, and even tragic shipwrecks are presented as part of a
narrative that focuses on human courage. As technology inexorably
advances, the job of the lighthouse keeper is gradually being
phased out. This is the twilight of the lighthouses' use for
navigation, and this work is a tribute to a way of life that is an
important part in the American maritime cultural fabric.
