6310g. Shanks, Ralph C. Jr. and Janetta Thompson. LIGHTHOUSES AND LIFEBOATS ON THE REDWOOD COAST. San Anselmo, CA. 1978.

6310g. Shanks, Ralph C. Jr. and Janetta Thompson. LIGHTHOUSES AND LIFEBOATS ON THE REDWOOD COAST. San Anselmo, CA. 1978. 255p. Soft wraps. A fine reference and wonderful reading, this book was and remains one of the few definitive sources on the subject of West Coast Lighthouse and Life-Saving services by this well known author. Well illustrated with over 150 fine vintage photographs of light stations, keepers, lamps, lanterns, fog-signaling equipment, surfboats, breeches buoy rescues and many other items. This work can easily serve as a reference on the area and on the equipment in use at the time. Extremely difficult to find. Clean, few pages lose as is common with this binding, good copy. (VG). $68
