Lighthouses of Maryland and Virginia

Lighthouse historian and storyteller Bob Trapani Jr. spotlights Maryland and Virginia lighthouses through stories of shipwrecks, bombings, Civil War ghosts, murder, romance, disasters and ice storms. Dozens of modern and historic photographs, plus comments from lighthouse preservationists, add detail and insight about the challenges associated with these mid-Atlantic coastal treasures that remain an important part of the region's history, mystery and lore. This book features stories about lights that are and were in the Chesapeake Bay and along Virginia's Atlantic Coast, and it is the follow-up volume to the author's 2005 release, "Lighthouses of New Jersey and Delaware: History, Mystery, Legends and Lore."
