This abundantly illustrated book conveys the romance and beauty of lighthouses and beacons while explaining the development of the forms, materials, architecture and engineering of their structure: wood, masonry, cast-iron plate, on- and off-shore skeletal, caisson and reinforced concrete. It covers lighthouses from all parts of the United States from the late eighteenth century to the 1940s, when control of lighthouses was transferred to the US Coast Guard and after which few new ones were constructed.
