22347. Hart-Davis, Adam and Emily Troscianko. HENRY WINSTANLEY AND THE EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE. Sutton Pub. 2002. 208 p. dj. On November 26, 1703, during the worst storm ever recorded in Britain, Henry Winstanley died in his lighthouse when it was blown away. Winstanley had been an ingenious man. In 1695 following the loss of two of his ships on the Eddystone Reef, he determined that no more vessels should founder there, and he volunteered to build a lighthouse. Constantly thwarted by weather and politics, he struggled for three years before he was able to light the first candles in his unusual structure. His lighthouse survived for five years, and this is his story and the story of the first Eddystone Lighthouse. Nicely illustrated, well done. (M). Published at $18.95 Our Price $17.95.
