No safe harbours for steamboats or sailing vessels could be found along an isolated 70-mile stretch of eastern Lake Ontario, dominated by the irregular-shaped Prince Edward County peninsula. Frequent storms, rocky reefs and sandy shoals were among the many dangers facing 19th century mariners. So many shipwrecks mark one narrow and shallow underwater ridge in the region that it became known as the graveyard of Lake Ontario. It was on these shores, from Presquile Bay to Kingston harbour and along the Bay of Quinte, that a network of more than forty lighthouses and light towers was built between 1828 and 1914. FOR WANT OF A LIGHTHOUSE presents a sweeping look at the social and technological changes which marked the era, and brings to life the people, politics and hardships involved in the construction of these essential aids to navigation. Through the use of extensive archival material and more than 100 maps and photographs, Marc Seguin documents the vital role these lighthouses played in the building of a nation. There is now a race against time to save the few original towers that are still standing. All profits from the sale of this book will be used to preserve these remaining lighthouses.

Written by Pasquale De Marco, a lifelong resident of the Great Lakes region, this book is packed with information on the history, architecture, and lore of these iconic structures. The Great Lakes are a system of five interconnected freshwater lakes in North America. They are the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world, containing 21% of the world's surface fresh water by volume. The Great Lakes are a vital resource for drinking water, transportation, recreation, and industry. Lighthouses have played a critical role in the history of the Great Lakes. They have helped to guide ships through the treacherous waters of the lakes, saving countless lives and preventing shipwrecks. The first lighthouse on the Great Lakes was built in 1819 at Buffalo, New York. Since then, over 100 lighthouses have been built on the Great Lakes. Today, many of the Great Lakes lighthouses are still in operation, serving as a reminder of the importance of these structures to the region's maritime history. Others have been decommissioned and are now open to the public as museums or bed and breakfasts. **Lighthouses of the Great Lakes: A Lighthouse Keeper's Guide to History, Lore, and Legends of the Great Lakes** includes information on all of the lighthouses on the Great Lakes, including: * The history of each lighthouse * The architecture of each lighthouse * The lore and legends associated with each lighthouse * Tips for visiting each lighthouse Whether you are a seasoned boater or a landlubber, **Lighthouses of the Great Lakes: A Lighthouse Keeper's Guide to History, Lore, and Legends of the Great Lakes** is sure to fascinate and inform you.
