Von der hinteren Coverseite

Explore America's Historic Maritime SentinelsFrom their picturesque locations and unique architecture, to their storied history as beacons of safety, lighthouses have always been popular tourist destinations, as well as a favorite subject for artists and photographers. As these structures have become less essential to navigation, however, many have faced demolition or neglect. Fortunately, through the collections of the Historic American Building Survey (HABS), and the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), many of these iconic structures have been preserved through historic photographs and architectural designs.In Lighthouses: A Close-Up Look, you'll discover the internal and external features of the lighthouse through photos and architectural plans from the HABS/HAER website. You will also learn a brief history of each as well as the GPS coordinates of the locations. Featured in the book is a foreword by Bob Trapani Jr., Executive Director of the American Lighthouse Foundation, along with many unique lighthouse structures, some still standing proudly guarding our coastlines, while others only remain as treasured photos and diagrams.
