Thousands of people visit Barnegat Lighthouse every year at the north end of Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Over 100 beautiful color images in this book provide views of the lighthouse and surrounding scenery in every season. Lighted for the first time on January 1, 1859, Barnegat Lighthouse has endured the wrath of fierce storms and constant threat of erosive conditions at "Breakers Inlet." The text provides an engaging history of this important lighthouse, which was for generations a critical marker for mariners sailing west from Europe along the 40th Parallel, and for 68 years the turning point for sailors heading to New York. The book celebrates the 150th anniversary of "Old Barney" in pictures and will be enjoyed by everyone who loves life along the Atlantic Coast.

Cape May's favorite beacon shines brightly in 90 picturesque scenes. Photographed at different angles for contrasting perspectives, the Cape May Lighthouse is shown through all the seasons. The text traces the history of how the lighthouse came to be and the danger that mariners faced as they tried to navigate around the shoals off of Cape May Point that created disaster for many unsuspecting ships. For more than 150 years the current tower has lighted the paths of many boats heading into the Delaware Bay from the Atlantic Ocean and has been a magnet for tourists and residents alike. This will be a great souvenir of your visit to the shore, celebrating the distinctiveness, longevity, and charm of the Cape May Lighthouse.
