Morris, Patricia. Georgia's Lighthouses.
Arcadia
Publishing. 2008. 128 p. Soft wraps. 200 vintage photographs. When British
general James Oglethorpe landed on
Georgia
s coast in 1733, he realized that the success of his new colony,
Savannah
, depended largely on its establishment and development as a commercial port.
Only three years later, in 1736, the first lighthouse was built on
Tybee
Island
. Beginning there at the mouth of the
Savannah River
, this volume travels down the coast, telling the very different stories of the
Cockspur Light, Sapelo Light, St. Simons Light, and Cumberland Light, which is
now located on a private island. Rich in history, these lighthouses help to
define the story of
Georgia
s 100-mile coastline. Of the lighthouses built, only five remain today; two
are operational lights
Tybee
Island
and
St.
Simons
Island
. Another in the series from
Arcadia
, this volume draws from public and private collections, most never before
published. Superb photographs, well worth it. (M). $19.99.
