Part of the Lighthouse Treasury Series, this volume explores Rhode Island's lighthouses.

 

The definitive series on the history of New England lighthouses continues with Rhode Island's thirty beacons. Here are just a few of the fascinating entries compiled by D'Entremont, New England's foremost lighthouse authority:

 

* A feud between two keepers at Whale Rock Light led to a harrowing life-and-death chase.

 

* The hurricane of 1938 devastated the state's lighthouses. The keepers at Plum Beach Light off North Kingstown miraculously escaped with their lives; others weren't so lucky.
