Description: PHOTO HISTORY OF LIGHTHOUSES, LIFESAVING & LIGHTSHIPS MASSACHUSETTS COAST BOSTON PHOTO HISTORY OF LIGHTHOUSES, LIFESAVING & LIGHTSHIPS MASSACHUSETTS COAST BOSTON BAY CAPE COD NANTUCKET MARTHAS VINEYARD BUZZARDS BAY NORTH SHORE IMAGES OF AMERICA PHOTO HISTORY SOFTBOUND BOOK in ENGLISH by JAMES CLAFLIN 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.
