22281. Vojtech, Pat. LIGHTING THE BAY: Tales of Chesapeake Lighthouses. Centreville. 1996. 208 p. From the beginning it was a struggle to light the Chesapeake. The Chesapeake’s shores shifted before the winds, tides and hurricanes that plagued the 200-mile long estuary. On land, erosion was the menace; on the water, it was ice. Lighting the Bay documents the dramatic events that surrounded the difficult job of lighting the Chesapeake and manning those lighthouses. With more than 100 superb color and b/w photographs complimented by informative narration, the author communicates both the facts and the human saga. Includes lighthouse list, bibliography, index. (M). Published at $34.95. Our price $31.95.
