Situated at the end of a reef six miles offshore of Crescent City, California, stands St. George Reef Lighthouse.

This book chronicles the loss of the Jonathan, decades of efforts to make the light a reality, the 10-year construction period, manning of the station by keepers of the US Lighthouse Service and Coast Guard, and the struggles and accomplishments of dedicated volunteers to restore what many lighthouse historians refer to as Americas greatest lighthouse.

A Short Bright Flash: Augustina Fresnel and the Birth of the Modern Lighthouse - Book
SKU:
WWN296
How a scientific outsider came up with a revolutionary theory of light and saved untold numbers of lives. Augustin Fresnel (17881827) shocked the scientific elite with his view of the physics of light. The lens he invented was a feat of engineering that made lighthouses blaze many times brighter, farther, and more efficiently than they had before. As secretary of France's Lighthouse Commission, he planned and oversaw the lighting of the nation's coast. Although Fresnel died young, his brother Léonor presided over the spread of the new technology around the globe. The new lights were of strategic importance in navigation, and the Fresnel...
