LONG OUT OF PRINT!
The following book is
no longer available in stores and I have long been searching for a few copies
for stock. Finally I was able to pick up two at another out of print book store
though they were quite pricey, and I don’t expect to find any more in
the future. This will certainly be your last opportunity to pick this title up
for your library.

Hurley, George and Suzanne. SHIPWRECKS
AND RESCUES ALONG THE
BARRIER
ISLANDS
OF
DELAWARE
,
MARYLAND
AND
VIRGINIA
.
Ocean
City
. 1984. 176 p. Soft wraps. Nicely done, this is a story of islands and
shipwrecks and heroes. It is an attempt to record and document a part of
a colorful segment of the historical heritage that has been left to
those who live on the coastal archipelago of
Del
aware
,
Maryland
and
Virginia
. The author’s research involved the
United
St
ates
Life-Saving Service in the area, which preceded the
U.S.
Coast Guard. Wrecks from 1875 to 1914 are featured along with rare
photographs of the life-saving stations, surfmen and shipwrecks. Little
evidence remains on the islands that would attest to the
contributions made toward a proud past: a lonely tombstone in a pine
grove at Green Run, a fallen and twisted
fla
g tower at Pope’s Island, a crumbling brick foundation at Broadwater,
the collapsed and decaying remains of an old station house on Cobb’s
Island
, refurbished lifesaving stations at Ocean City and Indian River Inlet,
and an unknown sailor’s cemetery plaque at Lewes. Superb rare early
photos illustrate the many stations and wreck scenes and extensive
tex
t tell the tale. A valuable addition to your library. Long out of print
and quite difficult to find. (VG+). $58.

2619c. (stereoview) The
Southwest Ledge - Ship John Shoal lighthouse, 1876
Philadelphia
Centennial Exposition by Centennial Photographic Company c.1876. The
1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, the first exposition of its kind in the
United States
, was held to mark the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
More than ten million visitors visited the works of 30,000 exhibitors during its
six month run. This important view provides good detail of the Southwest Ledge -
Ship John Shoal lighthouse at the Lighthouse Establishment exhibit there. Built
to be located at Southwest Ledge in
Delaware
, it was one of the first of its kind, built on a cylindrical iron foundation,
designed to prevent flowing ice from inflicting damage to the foundation. The
45-foot-tall lighthouse is an eight-sided three-story cast iron structure with a
Mansard roof covering the top two stories. Atop the tower is an octagonal
lantern room surmounted by an ogee octagonal roof. The lighthouse design was
deemed such a marvel, that when the superstructure intended for Southwest Ledge
was completed, it was put on display at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia
, shining its light every night from July 4, 1876 until the close of the
exhibition. A keeper lived at the lighthouse, tending the light each night. The
displayed superstructure never found its way to Southwest Ledge. An identical
structure being built was sent to Southwest Ledge during the Exposition so that
construction would not be delayed. After the Exposition, the superstructure on
display was sent to Ship John Shoal in
Delaware
. Large format stereoview, clean and crisp, a wonderful clear close view. (VG).

Roales, Judith. DELAWARE LIGHTHOUSES AND RANGE LIGHTS.
2007. Arcadia Publishing. 128 p. Soft wraps. 200 vintage photographs. Delaware
does not usually come to mind as one of America’s great maritime states. Yet
it has a long history of “firsts,” innovations, and improvements in
lighthouse construction and technology dating from the beginning of lighthouse
history in the United States. One of the original six lighthouses built before
the founding of this country was in Delaware. In the following years, major
offshore lighthouses and an extensive system of range lights were established.
At the height of its lighthouse history, Delaware had 27 manned light stations
that warned mariners of the shoals and colliding currents at the mouth of the
Delaware Bay and guided ships safely from the Atlantic Ocean to the inland ports
of Wilmington and Philadelphia. Most of Delaware’s lighthouses are gone now,
preserved only in faded photographs and yellowed documents such as those
collected here. The lights that remain struggle daily to survive the punishing
hands of vandals and Mother Nature. Another in the series from
Arcadia
, a well known publisher of local and regional histories, this volume drawns
from public and private collections, most never before published. Superb
photographs, well worth it. (M). $19.99

Trapani
, Robert Jr.
DELAWARE
LIGHTS – A History of Lighthouses in the
First
State
. History Press. 2007. 160 p. Soft wraps. In Delaware Lights, this
noted author recounts the stories of twenty-seven beacons from the lost Cape
Henlopen Light Station, completed in 1767, to the Marcus Hook Range Rear Light
Station, constructed in 1920. He not only discusses their construction and the
changes they have undergone, but also tells dramatic tales of their keepers, who
sometimes braved storms, isolation and poor conditions so that the lights would
stay burning for those at sea.
Trapani
also brings
Delaware
’s lighthouse history full circle by conveying to the reader that though these
guiding beacons are now automated and aging, the lights are hardly finished
making history here in the 21st century. (M). $19.99.
