The story of the lighthouse is as fascinating and diverse as the
design of the buildings themselves. Roman and medieval attempts to
help seafarers navigate, using beacons and other seamarks, preceded
elegant Georgian lights, followed in the nineteenth century by huge
rock-based lighthouses such as Eddystone, which were great feats of
Victorian civil engineering. This book relates the story of their
construction, often undertaken in desparately dangerous and stormy
conditions, looks at the lives of their keepers, and considers how
automation has changed the modern lighthouse. A gazetteer gives
brief details of over 160 lights around the coasts of Great Britain
and Ireland.
