2645. Hairr, John. NORTH CAROLINA LIGHTHOUSES AND LIFESAVING STATIONS. 2004. Arcadia Publishing. 128p. Soft wraps. With bold capes jutting into the ocean, sandy shoals extending miles offshore, fickle weather, and treacherous currents, it is no wonder that the coastline North Carolina came to be known as the “The Graveyard of the Atlantic.” For more than two centuries, these bright beacons of safety have guided ships into busy harbors, signaled dangerous navigational obstacles, and warmed the hearts of homesick travelers. North Carolina Lighthouses and Lifesaving Stations presents to readers the tales behind the lighthouses and life-saving stations, illuminating their past in both word and image. Through more than 200 archival photographs, stories of shipwrecks, rescues, service, and pride spring to life. Rare station and crew photos are especially noteworthy. (M). $19.99.
