5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best according to the U.S. Lighthouse Society, September 27, 2008

By	Joseph Torina (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lighthouses of North America [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As its producer and director, this is a work I would call one of my most intimate. If you can look beyond the substandard copies from its current distributors, you will love this program for all its historical detail and majesty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice source of information, September 25, 2006

By	Dean T. Carter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although the production is very segmented, and gives the impression of many short pieces spliced together, it is overall enjoyable. 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 knoweledge. 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars history of lighthouses, July 7, 2009

By	R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
