21252. DeWire, Elinor. SENTRIES ALONG THE SHORE. Gales Ferry. 1997
- DeWire, Elinor. SENTRIES ALONG THE SHORE. Gales Ferry. 1997. 172p. Soft wraps. Signed by the author. Illustrated. VOTED the best lighthouse book in print by Ensign Magazine. It’s a flashy collection (forgive the pun!) of 50 of her most popular lighthouse-related magazine articles, published between 1983 and 1996 in such magazines as Sea Frontiers, Offshore, Mobil Compass, Weatherwise, and Yachting. Excerpts from her long-time column ,”Whale Oil & Wicks,” for NOAA’s Mariners Weather Log, also appear. To the delight of her readers, she has included several unpublished pieces and personal highlights from her popular lecture, “I Brake for Lighthouses.” Subjects include lighthouse history, development of the Fresnel lens, history of fog signals, women of the Lighthouse Service, lightships, tenders, and much more. Noted Kentucky watercolorist, Jim Mahanes, painted the cover illustration of historic Nauset Beach Lighthouse on Cape Cod, a sentinel that was recently moved back from the sea to prevent erosion from toppling it. Wonderful reading. (M). $12.95.
