SCREWPILES...The Forgotten Lighthouses

A Review of Screwpiles: The Forgotten Lighthouses, By Tim Harrison of Lighthouse Digest, September/October 2018 - (Read the review)

A pictorial history book about screwpile lighthouses in Southeastern Virginia, Northeastern North Carolina, and Southern Maryland. The book combines archival plans and photos, original art and photography, stories pulled from lightkeepers' logs and journals, and from contemporary interviews with the people still connected to the lights. The authors weave these together to tell the story of how these lights came to be, their role in early American history and navigation, and the people who manned them and are still influenced by them today.
