Everyone knows that there’s something about lighthouses that gives them broad appeal, but their vital role in our history and culture is little appreciated. Our early nation was largely built on maritime economy, and lighthouses were part of the system that made that possible. Due to automation, traditional lighthouse keeping is a way of life that has faded into the past. Jeremy D’Entremont tells the history of New England’s historic and picturesque lighthouses, primarily focusing on the colorful and dramatic stories of lighthouse keepers and their families.

Jeremy D’Entremont is the author of more than 20 books and hundreds of articles on lighthouses and maritime history. He is the historian for the U.S. Lighthouse Society and host of the Society’s podcast, “Light Hearted.” He is a former president of the American Lighthouse Foundation, and founder of Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses. He has lectured and narrated cruises throughout New England, and has appeared on national TV and radio.
