Lighthouses have a lot to tell! They shape our image of the coast and are not only lifesavers but also structures with architectural features, interesting histories, and surrounded by numerous legends. Helmut Stapel has "interviewed" 18 fascinating lighthouses of the Unterweser and shares their exciting, sometimes quirky stories here—filled with numerous data, facts, and anecdotes. From Marina Kuhlmann at the fishing harbor of Bremerhaven to the Roter Sand lighthouse in the open sea, he compiles everything worth knowing about the towers, their past, and their unique characteristics. Interviews, reports, and archival images complete this richly illustrated book.
