These beacons are cherished monuments of North Carolina history. In addition to warning ships to safer waters, they now draw thousands of visitors each year. With this book, cofounders of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society Cheryl Shelton-Roberts and Bruce Roberts provide a well-researched, human-centered, and beautifully illustrated history of these towering structures. The authors offer stories--including the misadventures of Civil War spies and the threat of looming German U-boats off the North Carolina coast--that provide important context and meaning to the history of North Carolina's lighthouses. From Cape Fear to Currituck Beach, every still-standing lighthouse is lovingly described alongside their architects, builders, and keepers and the sailors who depended on the lighthouses to keep them from harm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367073382623,"sku":"9781469641485","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/PAspuBJcG69781469641485.webp?v=1789102310"},{"product_id":"hayward-vintage-views-photographs-from-the-hayward-area-recreation-and-park-district-archive-hardcover","title":"Hayward Vintage Views: Photographs from the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District Archive - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing work from the archive of the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, this book celebrates the 75th anniversary of this important agency.
