Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Timothy E. Harrison Genre: History Publisher: Arcadia Publishing ISBN: 9780738562698 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 127 Description: The lighthouses of Bar Harbor and the Acadia region are among the most remote and lesser-known lighthouses of Maine. As the vessel traffic changed in these areas in the early 1900s, some of these lighthouses were sold into private ownership, or became less important as aids to navigation. Since the structures were located on remote islands or in a highly restricted military installation, the photographs and historical firsthand memories of most of these lighthouses have remained elusive and seemingly lost in the dusty pages of time. Through vintage photographs, this book uncovers the history of these structures that kept watch over Maine's rocky coast. From the passage of the lighthouses under federal government to modern automation, from removal of keepers to present days, when many people suddenly realized that we were losing more of our lighthouse history than we were saving, the book traces the story of the lighthouses of the Bar Harbor and the Acadia region.
