23379. Hahn-Pedersen, Morten. DANISH NORTH SEA LIGHTSHIPS. Esbjerg . Denmark 1991 64 p. Soft wraps. Lightships are not uniquely Danish–floating lights have been placed at sea where fixed lights cannot penetrate for over a hundred years. Since the Second World War, technological developments have rendered them obsolete, but they have a fascinating history. This book is the most comprehensive on the subject yet written, with information about the ships’ construction, life on board, the seamen who sailed them, and the potential tragedies the lightships have prevented. Filled with excellent vintage photographs. In English. (M). $44.
