Download or read book Lighthouses and Life Saving Along Cape Cod written by James Claflin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, heroic men and women have guarded the treacherous yet beloved Cape Cod coastlines. From Provincetown to Chatham, Sandwich to Cuttyhunk, and many towns in between, residents have relied on the Atlantic for employment and nourishment. But Cape Cod has always been plagued with a shifting coastline that consistently defies mariners' efforts to pass through Massachusetts waters. In 1792, as shipping increased, mariners petitioned for a sorely needed lighthouse. It was not until 1797 that the first lighthouse on Cape Cod was built at the Highlands in North Truro. More lights and rescue stations would follow as the seas claimed their toll. Many lightship stations were also established from Chatham through Nantucket Sound to mark the constantly changing sandbars submerged offshore--more than in any other spot along the US coastline. Today, as sea levels change and sands continue to shift, some of these historic stations have been lost or moved, while still others are preserved only in such photographs as these.
Download or read book Kindly Lights written by Sarah C. Gleason and published by Beacon Press (MA). This book was released on 1991 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kindly Lights chronicles the history of the lights from the early days of the colonies, when lighthouses were built shoddily and haphazardly, usually soon after an all-too-predictable shipwreck, to the mid-nineteenth century when a national lighthouse system was established. In one compelling chapter, the author uncovers the story of David Melville, who conducted a remarkable experiment in gas lighting at Rhode Island's Beavertail lighthouse in 1817/18. It was to be a short-lived trial; Melville's innovations were resisted by Nantucket whalers fearful of losing their lucrative lighthouse oil market and by federal inspector Winslow Lewis, who plays a part in Melville's failure, as he did in so much of the history of the new nation's attempts to build a rational and technically sound lighthouse system.

Download or read book Lighthouses and Life Saving along the Massachusetts Coast written by James Claflin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1998-11-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author James Claflin combines an extensively researched text with this exquisite collection of many previously unpublished images to tell the story of a state dependent upon its coastal commerce. Lighthouses and Life Saving along the Massachusetts Coast is a unique tribute to the men and women who protected mariners from shipping disasters. With a variety of vintage images from private as well as museum collections,this rare glimpse into the lives of the dedicated workers who protected thousands of vessels plying the dangerous waters of Massachusetts Bay and Nantucket Sound is a visual journey to an earlier era in our nation's history. From Cape Ann to New Bedford, residents of Massachusetts have relied heavily on the sea for employment, trade, and nourishment. The task of lighting and protecting the coasts was taken on by the U. S. Lighthouse Establishment and the U. S. Life-Saving Service. Within these pages, see the Cape Ann lighthouse keeper proudly posed in his uniform, the Cape Cod life savers launching their surf-boat through the breakers toward the shipwreck, and the Boston Bay lighthouse keeper's family returning by skiff from their brief excursion to town.
