Any idea where the first lighthouse was built in the United States? And when? I’ll give you a hint…it was near Boston. (Check out the video to see if you’re right.)
For centuries, lighthouses have been warning sailors away from danger–rocky cliffs, sandy shoals, entrances to harbors–and have provided beacons of light to mariners during storms.
Here’s a thought to ponder: “Don’t forget that maybe you are the lighthouse in someone’s storm.”
Thanks for sharing about lighthouses. I enjoy visiting lighthouses, especially the ones that are open to the public. I have had the opportunity of climbing the steps to the top of six, including Hatteras, which you mentioned as the tallest in the US. So fun to visit them. I enjoyed your book, At Lighthouse Point.
Hi Edward! So nice to hear from you! I’m impressed that you have climbed to the top of six lighthouses–no small feat! Thank you for reading my book and for letting me know, too. Hope all is well in your world! Warmly, Suzanne
