21391. Roberts, Norma Elizabeth and Bruce. CAPE HENRY – First Landing, First United States Lighthouse. 2001. 20p. Soft wraps. This well-researched booklet tells the history of the 1792 old Cape Henry Lighthouse and the first landing of the Jamestown colonists at Cape Henry. Cape Henry Light was the first federally funded lighthouse built after the colonies gained independence. Cape Henry was also the site of the celebration ending the existence of the U.S. Lighthouse Service, then known as the Bureau of Lighthouses. In a U.S. Coast Guard ceremony here in August 1939, Commander Waesche announced the merger of the coast guard and lighthouse service. As you would expect from these well known authors, this booklet is accompanied by wonderful archival photos and a detailed text. (M). $4.95.
