27296. Kirklin, Wayne. LIGHTSHIPS: Floating Lighthouses Of The Mid-Atlantic. History Press. 2007. 128p. Before radar, depth finders and satellite-guided navigation—before the seafloor was charted with scientific precision—mariners had to rely on alternative means to approach a coastline safely. Lightships played an invaluable role in filling the void. In Lightships, author Wayne Kirklin chronicles the heyday of these crucial navigational aids. (M). $19.99.
