20358. Crowley, Jim. LIGHTHOUSES OF NEW YORK – Greater New York Harbor, Hudson River and Long Island. Saugerties. 2000. 128p. Soft wraps. Illustrated with 60 photographs. At last – all the lighthouses, light towers and light ships of the Hudson River, New York/New Jersey Harbor and Long Island, including Long Island Sound, are collected in one book. Author Jim Crowley, a professional photographer and avid lighthouse fan, photographed the lighthouses and collected their history and interesting facts in this comprehensive tour of New York’s sentinels. Each of the existing 45 lights is represented in a full-page photo which faces a page of descriptive text, and additional archive photos were used to illustrate their changes over the years. Complete access and contact information is provided for those who are more than “armchair travelers” and wish to view and/or visit these historic landmarks. Rounding out the book is a section of illustrated lighthouse history and lore, covering the origins and early life saving techniques used by the forerunner of the United States Coast Guard. The famous, the hidden and the long-forgotten . . . all gathered in this beautiful oversized maritime history of New York State lighthouses. (M). $15.95.
