Sinopse

"Lighthouse Legends" explores the rich history and folklore surrounding these iconic coastal structures. It delves into their technological evolution, from simple signal fires to complex optical systems, highlighting their pivotal role in navigation and maritime trade. Lighthouses weren't just navigational aids; they were crucial hubs connecting coastal communities and global commerce. The book also examines dramatic rescues and tragic shipwrecks, revealing the bravery of lighthouse keepers and the harrowing experiences of those at sea. 

 
The book progresses through three sections, beginning with the history and technology of lighthouses, then focusing on documented accounts of rescues and shipwrecks, and finally exploring the folklore and legends associated with these maritime beacons. It argues that lighthouses embody human resilience and innovation in the face of the sea's unpredictable power.

 
What sets this book apart is its blend of historical accuracy and compelling storytelling, making it valuable to history buffs, travel lovers, and anyone fascinated by tales of the sea.

    Against the backdrop of the extraordinary history of Great Lakes shipping, Too Much Sea for Their Decks chronicles shipwrecked schooners, wooden freighters, early steel-hulled steamers, whalebacks, and bulk carriers all lost in the frigid waters of Lake Superior. 
     
     
     
    Included are compelling accounts of vessels destined for infamy, such as that of the Stranger, a slender wooden schooner swallowed by the lake in 1875; an account of the whaleback Wilson, rammed by a large commercial freighter in broad daylight and in calm seas; and the mysterious loss of the Kamloops, a package freighter that went down in a storm and whose sailors were found on the Isle Royale the following spring, having escaped the wreck only to die of exposure on the island. Then there is the ill-fated Steinbrenner, plagued by bad luck from the time of her construction to her eventual sinking in 1953. These tales and more represent loss of life and property—and are haunting stories of brave and heroic crews. 
     
     
     
    Arranged chronologically and presented in three sections covering Minnesota's North Shore, Isle Royale, and the three biggest storms in Minnesota's Great Lakes history (the 1905 Mataafa storm, the 1913 hurricane on the lakes, and the 1940 Armistice Day storm), each shipwreck documented within provides a piece to the history of shipping on Lake Superior.
