Back Cover Copy
Standing guard over the long, graceful coastline that stretches between the North Carolina Outer Banks and the southern tip of Florida are stone, brick, concrete, and metal sentinels - stately lighthouses whose tall towers serve as daymarks and whose intense beacons provide guidance at night to the ships of all sizes that ply these shores for pleasure and profit. Ship-killing shoals, shallows, and hurricanes lie in wait to thwart the missions of these vessels and have given the surf off these shores the nickname 'the Graveyard of the Atlantic.' Southeastern Lighthouses tells the fascinating stories of this region's most important and historic lighthouses and the wrecks and heroes they have seen. Bruce Roberts is a freelance photographer whose work has appeared in Life, Sports Illustrated, and Time-Life Books. He was director of photography at Southern living magazine. Ray Jones has served as editor for Time-Life Books, founding editor of Albuquerque Living magazine, senior editor and writing coach at Southern Living magazine, and publisher of Country Roads Press.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Southeastern Lighthouses (Lighthouse Series) (Paperback)
There are directions and other info for finding and visiting lighthouses. They do not always show all lights for a given area. The photos are all color. I own 3 of these books. There are not many other guide books out there so if you are looking for guide books these are good to have. Since there are so many books in this series I thought I'd help people find them easier. This is the series. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ American Lighthouses California Lighthouses Eastern Great Lakes Lighthouses - I own this one Western Great Lakes Lighthouses - I own this one Southeastern Lighthouses - I own this one Southern Lighthouses New England Lighthouses Mid Atlantic Lighthouses Gulf Coast Lighthouses
