Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the gritty yet noble story of the brave men who keep watch over the seas and guard the shores of a nation. It paints a fascinating picture of the lives of the men who manned the iconic light-vessels of the 19th century, the floating lighthouses that kept a watchful eye over the dangerous shoals and hidden dangers of the treacherous coastlines. Sailors and landlubbers alike will enjoy the thrill and adventure of facing the sea and risking life and limb in the line of duty. The author brings to vivid life the camaraderie, the rescues, the storms, the shipwrecks, and the everyday triumphs of these unsung heroes, men for whom the restless ocean was their home and the beam of their lantern their guiding light.
