"""Nothing says New England like a lighthouse on a rocky ledge, surrounded by a roiling ocean. In his new book "Wave-Swept Lighthouses of New England," historian Jeremy D'Entremont brings these iconic structures to life with stories about the people who built and tended them over the years. The book focuses as much on the perilous existence of lightkeepers as it does on architecture and engineering. As D'Entremont notes in the preface, people's stories are what make lighthouses the focus of our romantic imaginations."" Providence Journal "
Synopsis
The lighthouse is a pervasive icon in our culture, often used to symbolize positive qualities like faith, guidance, strength, and steadfastness. No structures embody these qualities more than wave-swept lighthouses, which were built to withstand the most extreme forces of wind and ocean waves, often in isolated, rocky locations far offshore. In the United States, the earliest attempts to build wave-swept lighthouses in the 1830s led to several masterpieces of engineering, a few of which are in the New England region. This book primarily focuses on six such structures: Whaleback (Maine), Saddleback Ledge (Maine), Minot's Ledge (Massachusetts), Halfway Rock (Maine), Graves Ledge (Massachusetts), and Ram Island Ledge (Maine). All of these wave-swept lighthouses stand in rugged testimony to the people who designed and built them, and they also serve to remind us of the struggles and sacrifices of the lighthouse keepers who "kept a good light" for so many years before automation., The lighthouse is a pervasive icon in our culture, often used to symbolize positive qualities like faith, guidance, strength, and steadfastness.
