Historic Tenders of the United States Lighthouse Service and the U. S. Coast Guard

These large 11”h x 17”w black line printed profile views of Lighthouse Tenders were published by the Coast Guard for the Bicentennial in the 1970’s. These detailed views depict the various types of vessels in typical configurations and clearly show every detail of the vessel. Establishing the exact configuration of many of these vessels was something of a challenge, as photos or plans of many of these vessels no longer exist. Using original deck plans, photographs of the time, profiles obtained from the National Archives, or descriptions of alterations and various other sources, the artists have been able to reconstruct how these rare vessels probably appeared during these periods. Printed in black on white, heavy stock, this fine collection of views is suitable for framing and would be a fine way to decorate your hallway or den. These come with a copy of the written detailed historical sketch and description of configuration, usage and historical source material, compiled by John A. Tilley, Associate Professor of History, East Carolina University. Clean, crisp, may be some bending near edges but can be easily matted out. #33007 @ $22 ea.
