Attention Lighthouse EnthusiastsBy Timothy KearneyPeople who love lighthouses know that the Maine coast is dotted with lighthouses and that this portion of New England is a lighthouse lovers paradise. LIGHTHOUSES AND LIFE SAVING ALONG THE MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE COAST is a must for East Coast lighthouse lovers. The book is similar to Claflins other books on lighthouses and life saving in Massachusetts; Rhode Island; and Connecticut. It is filled with older photographs of the places and people involved in this way of life. Readers who have visited the lighthouses and life saving stations of Maine in recent years will be amazed at how remote some of these locations once were. The small commentaries that follow many of the pictures helps create a sense of history of these bygone days. This book helps recreate the romantic appeal of the days when lighthouses and life saving stations were in their glory; but a reader will also get a sense of the dangers and sacrifice involved on the part of those who dedicated their lives to this service.
