LIGHTHOUSES OF THE FLORIDA KEYS

Welcome to the lighthouses of the Florida Keys—captivating, picturesque, beautiful, and vital to the mariners who depend on them. In this historical account, you'll visit the lights throughout the Florida Keys—ones that once existed and the ones still standing today—and meet the many keepers who tended them.

You'll also learn the history of the individual lights, including construction, repairs needed due to storms—and the politics which have always swirled around them as surely as the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Florida Straits.

"Two of almost everybody's favorite subjects are lighthouses and Florida keys, and here's a book about both. The readable work explores the history of lighthouses in the keys, looks at lighthouses of the past and those still in operation." —Ann Hyman, The Florida Times-Union

"The extensive coral reef just offshore from the Keys and the strong current from the Gulf of Mexico make the Florida Straits among the most dangerous in the world to navigate. Dean tells the history of lighthouses built along this treacherous passage to guide ships through bad weather and the dark of night. Diagrams from the 1800s, combined with modern-day color photographs, add to this fascinating account."—Diane Egner, The Tampa Tribune
