Holland, F. Ross. Maryland Lighthouses of the
Chesapeake Bay. Maryland Historical Trust Press. 1997. 200p. DJ.
Beautifully done as you would expect with this noted author, this fascinating
look at the history of Maryland’s lighthouses and lightships will keep you
enthralled. Illustrated with hundreds of vintage photographs and just filled
with detailed historical text, this is surely one of the better books on the
subject, as told by one of America’s best-known lighthouse historians.
Fascinating reading, worth it for the images alone. (VG). $22.

Hurley, George and Suzanne. SHIPWRECKS
AND RESCUES ALONG THE
BARRIER
ISLANDS
OF
DELAWARE
,
MARYLAND
AND
VIRGINIA
.
Ocean
City
. 1984. 176 p. Soft wraps. Nicely done, this is a story of islands and
shipwrecks and heroes. It is an attempt to record and document a part of
a colorful segment of the historical heritage that has been left to
those who live on the coastal archipelago of
Del
aware
,
Maryland
and
Virginia
. The author’s research involved the
United
St
ates
Life-Saving Service in the area, which preceded the
U.S.
Coast Guard. Wrecks from 1875 to 1914 are featured along with rare
photographs of the life-saving stations, surfmen and shipwrecks. Little
evidence remains on the islands that would attest to the
contributions made toward a proud past: a lonely tombstone in a pine
grove at Green Run, a fallen and twisted
fla
g tower at Pope’s Island, a crumbling brick foundation at Broadwater,
the collapsed and decaying remains of an old station house on Cobb’s
Island
, refurbished lifesaving stations at Ocean City and Indian River Inlet,
and an unknown sailor’s cemetery plaque at Lewes. Superb rare early
photos illustrate the many stations and wreck scenes and extensive
tex
t tell the tale. A valuable addition to your library. Long out of print
and quite difficult to find. (VG+). $58.
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.

photographs, this large-format book provides a photographic history of the

photos, the author provides us with historical background, tales of
shipwrecks and lighthouse fires, storms and other disasters endured by the
keepers. Quite clean, tight. Most worthwhile reading. (VG+).

Taylor, Cathy. Maryland's Lighthouses.
Arcadia
Publishing. 2008. 128 p. Soft wraps. 200 vintage photographs. In Colonial
times, as the Chesapeake Bay and larger rivers became vital shipping channels,
the need arose to mark
Maryland
’s dangerous shoals and waterways. Lighthouses sprang up throughout the 1800s
and early 1900s, including wood-framed cottages placed upon screw pile
foundations that stood offshore in the unforgiving waters. Most of these unique
structures did not survive, lost tragically to ice that also occasionally
claimed the lives of the keepers who faithfully tended them and rescued mariners
in trouble. With the advent of electricity and GPS, many beacons succumbed to
vandalism and neglect, leaving a fraction remaining. 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.
