About this Book:
The allure of Maine lighthouses attracts thousands of visitors and enthusiasts each year. From the northernmost outpost of Whitlock Mills Light to Grindle Point Light on Islesboro, to the southern beacon of Cape Neddick (Nubble) Light—one of the most scenic and most photographed lighthouses in the world, boasting more than 250,000 visitors annually—a total of sixty-four existing lighthouses dot the bold coast and rugged islands of Maine. The Islandport Guide to Maine Lighthouses celebrates the longstanding history and importance of each lighthouse, as well as its modern-day use and accessibility. A special section for mariners details the sea approach to twenty-two lighthouses. Gorgeous four-color photography by photographer Courtney Thompson, combined with vintage postcard imagery, make this guidebook as handsome as it is useful.
