Description
From the early days of sailing, when ships were guided by the stars and the knowledge of experienced sailors, to the modern era of GPS and radar, lighthouses have played a vital role in ensuring the safe passage of vessels. In this book, readers will learn about the history of lighthouses in New Jersey, from the first beacons built in the 18th century to the modern lighthouses that still stand today. They will also meet the lighthouse keepers who dedicated their lives to maintaining these beacons of hope and guiding ships safely to shore.
Life-saving stations were established along the Jersey Shore in the 19th century, in response to the increasing number of shipwrecks. These stations were staffed with trained crews who were ready to launch their boats at a moment’s notice to rescue those in distress. The life-saving crews faced many dangers in their work, including treacherous seas, storms, and shipwrecks. But they never hesitated to risk their own lives to save others.
**Into the Storm** tells the stories of the brave men and women who served in the U.S. Life-Saving Service, and it recounts some of the most dramatic rescues in history. Readers will be amazed by the courage and selflessness of these rescuers, and they will be inspired by their stories of heroism.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in maritime history, lighthouses, life-saving stations, or the Jersey Shore. It is a story of courage, sacrifice, and resilience, and it is sure to leave readers feeling inspired and amazed.
