Bill Gately's Sentinels of the Shore: A Guide to the Lighthouses and Lightships of New Jersey explores the history of lighthouse technology in the Garden State before touring the lighthouses and lightships themselves. Gately includes a fold-out map of the locations of the lighthouses and ships for those seeking to visit the historic sites. He then details the history of each lighthouse and ship, from its creation through its eventual decommissioning or demolition, whether by human causes or nature. The descriptions include mention of the types of technology used, the nature of the waterway and how it dictated the choice of design, and even anecdotes from lighthouse keepers' logs. Sentinels of the Shore will appeal to those interested in nautical or New Jersey history. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
When people think of New Jersey's lighthouses, most think of a famous few -- Barnegat, Sandy Hook, Twin Lights and Cape May. But did you know that 49 lighthouses once dotted the coast from New York Harbor down to Cape May and up the Delaware Bay? Twenty-six of them remain standing today. This complete, full-color, hardcover guide includes all of the present and former lighthouses and lightships that are part of the state's maritime history. The book provides historical information as well as stories of the keepers and includes 40 color photographs. Directions to the locations are provided. The book also includes a thorough lighthouse bibliography and a fold-out map of all past and present New Jersey lightstations, and it is just the right size to slip into a large pocket or backpack.
