Description: Welcome to the lighthouses of the Florida Keys—captivating, picturesque, beautiful, and vital to the mariners who depend on them. In this historical account, you'll visit the lights throughout the Florida Keys—ones that once existed and the ones still standing today—and meet the many keepers who tended them.

You'll also learn the history of the individual lights, including construction, repairs needed due to storms—and the politics which have always swirled around them as surely as the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Florida Straits.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 269-293) and index.
