LEGENDARY LIGHTHOUSES, a new six-part series about lighthouses and the remarkably beautiful places they're located, offers viewers the opportunity to rediscover the romance and history of these fabled structures. The one-hour programs visit remote locations such as Thomas Point Lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay, the reef lights of Florida's southern coast, California's St. George's Reef Lighthouse, and the lighthouses of Washington's Puget Sound and San Juan Islands. Actor Richard Crenna narrates. The series also visits famous and historic locations such as Boston Lighthouse on Little Brewster Island, the oldest lighthouse location in America; Ocracoke Lighthouse, located in the harbor that was once home to the infamous pirate Blackbeard; and Rhode Island's Lime Rock Lighthouse, home to Ida Lewis, who became the most famous lighthouse keeper in America. Each episode, guided by storytellers who are connected to the lighthouses and their locations, covers one of the nation's great coastlines, with a sampling of lighthouses from that region. 6 hours on 3 videotapes. Book: /Whether it's for their beauty, romance or usefulness - or a combination of all three-most of us would admit to a fascination with lighthouses. Paralleling the highly praised PBS travel documentary series Legendary Lighthouses, this companion book celebrates America's treasured coastal beacons and explores the nature of our love for them. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs, many of them taken during the filming of the television series, this book is a modern tribute not only to our rich lighthouse heritage but also the ideals and impulses that lighthouses continue to embody and inspire.
