Seashaken Houses | Tom Nancollas | Paperback
Impuestos incluidos
Offshore lighthouses are among the most striking structures in the maritime landscape, but their beauty can conceal the difficulty of building and maintaining them. Tom Nancollas explores the rock lighthouses of Britain and Ireland, including the history evoked by Eddystone and Fastnet.
The book follows the people who raised and rebuilt these towers, the keepers who occupied their confined rooms and the continuing importance of their lights to safe navigation. Engineering history meets an attentive account of place and memory. For readers drawn to coastal architecture and the working life of the sea, it offers a way to understand these isolated buildings as practical achievements as well as familiar silhouettes in maritime art.
