Book Description
Intended as a companion and/or sequel to the author's book on Maine lighthouses, this title offers the most complete and comprehensive guide to the lighthouses of Massachusetts. Available in soft or hard cover edition, this guide offers more than 400 color photographs (multiple images of each lighthouse and area), history, legend, lore, directions and maps. All lighthouses from Cape Ann to Nantucket are included as well as those in neighboring coastal New Hampshire. Selected historic postcard reproductions offer a glimpse into days past when all lightstations were manned and active The Massachusetts coast is divided into sections or "chapters" with a listing of tour/excursion boats and lighthouse organizations appended.
From the Author
Presented in the same format as my first book, Maine "Lighthouses A Pictorial Guide," this guide to the lighthouses of Massachusetts is a sequel of sorts. The same presentation again offers a complete visual tour of each location with concise but complete description, history and legend for each lighthouse. Accurate directions accompanied by a small, readable map make finding the lights much easier. And for those who can't get to every lighthouse in Massachusetts, this book takes you there with images. As a practical guide for travel, reference, souvenir or coffee table gift, this book will please anyone who loves Massachusetts, lighthouses and the coast.
