Publisher: Umbrella Books
ISBN: 0945397216
Edition: Paperback; 1993-02
Summary:
Early mariners found sailing California's often forbidding coast to
be a risky adventure until after 1954, when the first of more than 40
lighthouse stations was built to mark 1,200 miles of meandering
coastline, bays, and inland waters from San Diego to the Redwood
Coast. These absorbing stories give a concise history of each light:
where each was built and why, the special breed of men and women who
tended the lights, and the light's status today. Packed with maps,
photographs, and useful information, including visiting hours and
locations of nearby museums.
