Travel along the coasts of Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii, Alaska, and British Columbia as Jim Gibbs takes you on a tour of the lighthouses of the Pacific. This wonderful historical reference explains everything from the United States’ earliest attempts to light the capes of the coast to the development of the technology that made navigation in perilous waters possible. No history is complete without exciting tales of ghosts, mysteries, and shipwrecks and Gibb knows how to tell ’em. Within this book, one will find the drama, history, color and action that have been so much a part of lore of the lighthouse and nautical Americana.
