I do agree with the prior reviewer that there are more people on screen than the lighthouses, but Wayne Wheeler, who is the recently retired director for the United States Lighthouse Society, is an engaging speaker with an abundance if...

history of lighthouses
A lot of artists who do landscapes have had a tradition of painting lighthouses. The combination of sea shore, cliffs and island make these circular tower buildings very popular.

Some of the information is a little dated, but history rarely changes. Though not a smooth flowing piece, it is a very useful historical production.

A lot of artists who do landscapes have had a tradition of painting lighthouses.
The combination of sea shore, cliffs and island make these circular tower buildings very popular. The lonely watch keepers have also a romantic tradition. The video talks about the importation of the French Fresnel lens to focus the beam of the lights so that they were visable for long distances. The lighthouses covered here are mostly west coast American ones, but the tradition is world wide. |
