 Maryland Lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay — authored by America's best-known lighthouse historian, F. Ross Holland — tells the story of Maryland's lightships, lighthouses, and their builders and keepers amidst the panorama of political change, war, and technological advancement. This is the most comprehensive history ever compiled on aids to navigation — past and present, standing and destroyed — in Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Here, the histories and constructrion details of 60 Maryland lighthouses and eight lightboats are reported. Indispensible as a reference work, this book is also an engaging celebration of the people who built the lighthouses and kept the lights.
With more than 250 illustrations in its 200 pages, no previous volume of lighthouse history has ever brought together such a varied, colorful, and comprehensive collection of Maryland lighthouse images. Engravings, documents, maps, elevations, postcards, and photographs taken exclusively for the book complement the rare historical photos assembled from libraries, museums, governmental archives, and private collections.
Maryland Lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay contains extensive notes and an exceptional index, and stands in a class by itself as the definitive work for lighthouse buffs, scholars, armchair adventurers, preservationists, and historians. On another level, it serves as a moving and monumental tribute to Maryland's maritime heritage — a fascinating compendium for the general reader.
