New Jersey's coastal heritage is a proud one, with lighthouses
playing a starring role. This book visits eleven lighthouses
accessible to the public, exploring their history as proud
community sentinels and guardians of sea traffic passing
treacherous rocks and shoals. From the Sandy Hook lighthouse in the
north -- the nation's oldest beacon -- to popular tourist
destination Cape May Point on the southern tip of the state, you
can explore a great variety of styles, including the fortress-style
Twin Lights, Victorian Gothic, and iron towers thrust into the sky.
This is the perfect introductory tour, with a general history of
lighthouses, and a thoroughly researched overview of the each
light's history and function. If you have already visited some or
these lights, this book will serve as a great memento. If you' have
yet to discover these proud sentinels, this book will help you plan
an adventure.
