Lightships and Lighthouses

by Frederick A. Talbot ...

Romances innumerable have been woven around the flaming guardians of the coast, but it is doubtful whether any purely imaginative work is so fascinating and absorbing as the plain unvarnished narrative of how some famous lightship or lighthouse has been brought into existence. And the story of construction is equalled in every way by that relating to the operation and maintenance of the light, ... Read more

Lightships and Lighthouses

by Frederick A. Talbot ...

The river is so fine, that before going to Bayonne I have come down as far as Royan. Ships heavy with white sails ascend slowly on both sides of the boat. At each gust of wind they incline like idle birds, lifting their long wing and showing their black belly. They run slantwise, then come back; one would say that they felt the better for being in this great fresh-water harbor; they loiter in it ... Read more

Speeding swiftly along a railway with a road-bed as smooth as an asphalt pavement conveys no ... Read more
